Build a Chepstow bypass to remove the bottle neck from the M48 onto the A48.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The lowering of the Severn Bridge Toll represents a huge oppurtunity for growth in Monmouthshire, Forest of Dean and South East Wales. However the road infrastructure is inadequate. The A48 is already suffering from congestion and poor air quality through the town of Chepstow.

With the addition of new housing estates in both Monmouthshire and Forest of Dean the current proposals fall unacceptably short in facilitating growth.

This scheme has been an aspiration since the 1960s and unless both the Welsh and UK governments finally co-operate and commit then the economic prosperity so within reach will be choked off, instead leaving the quality of the resident's lives to deteriorate and stifle sustainable economic development.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Your petition is about something that the Welsh Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it. Responsibility for roads is devolved in Wales.

The Welsh Assembly has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Assembly, you can find out more here:
