Driver who racked up almost £3,000 in Clean Air Zone fines claims she 'thought she had six days to pay' after receiving enforcement letters

[Wales-Bales]

The Welsh government is considering introducing a congestion charge on the A470 around Pontypridd, presumably where the 50mph stretch is currently. As someone who lives in mid Wales where there is no rail link within 20 miles I'd be interested in how I can make the journey without a car? Buses are very infrequent and and there is no direct connection to Cardiff. It would literally take all day to get to Cardiff and back except that the last bus back would be too early so it would be a two day affair. Otherwise, it would presumably be a park and ride from Merthyr? Who knows?

The A470 is the backbone of the Welsh road system. Hopefully they'll dismiss the idea but they have a record of introducing left-field policies with little thought behind them. They're very Cardiff-centric.

The idea is you will have everything that you need within walking distance of your home, except maybe your granny, your girlfriend, your mates, favourite pubs & restaurants, football, concerts, beaches, mountains, holidays, etc., but don't worry you will be happy

Mates, pubs, restaurants OK, I'll miss the rest

Cardiff will be on the box I expect like Covid days.
