Approve the M4 Relief Road Project

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We the people of South Wales and effected areas disagree with the First Minister, Mark Drakeford’s decision to scrap the M4 relief road project, believing he was not acting in our best interests. We demand that the decision to scrap the M4 Relief Road project is reconsidered and overturned.

The Welsh Assembly recently rejected our petition, therefore we now call on the UK Government to ensure that our voices are heard.

Reports suggested that Mark Drakeford had already made his decision before reviewing Bill Wadrup’s £44 million report, which recommended the project to be approved, stating that there would be decreased congestion, pollution and less of an impact from Co2 traffic fumes on Newport families. We believe that the decision to scrap the project is to our detriment.

Why it was rejected

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

Motorways in Wales are the responsibility of the Welsh Government, not of the UK Government or Parliament.
