Build the M4 Relief Road Black Route.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The decision, by First Minister Mark Drakeford, for this not to go ahead is ridiculous. Anybody that uses the M4 Between Cardiff and Newport knows how important it is, not just to the motorists using this stretch of motorway, but the infrastructure of business all across South Wales.

The building of this relief road has been required and discussed for nearly 30 years, during this time traffic congestion has become intolerable for those who use it. The people & businesses that depend on this route will suffer until this is addressed.
The traffic jams that frequently occur are causing more emissions and damage to the environment than there would be if it were more free flowing. Therefore a relief road would ease the congestion & reduce harmful emissions.

Why it was rejected

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