The Welsh Government has announced a freeze on new road building projects while a review of highway schemes across the country is carried out. The recently re-elected Labour-led administration said its Programme for Government 'shows how we will act decisively to tackle the climate emergency'. Lee Waters, deputy minister for climate change, announced the review in the Senedd last month. He told Assembly Members: 'Since 1990, Welsh emissions have fallen by 31%, but to reach our statutory target of net zero by 2050 we need to do much more. Transport makes up some 17% of our total emissions and so must play its part. Earlier this year I published the Welsh Government's new Wales transport strategy, Llwybr Newydd. It sets out a bold vision for transport in Wales over the next two decades. |
