The M4 is one of Wales\u2019 vital arteries and an important strategic route across Britain. It has been clear for some time that congestion on the M4 corridor around Newport is damaging the Welsh economy, and that an upgrade is urgently required. The Secretary of State for Wales met with the Welsh Government\u2019s Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure following his appointment to discuss options for upgrading the M4.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Welsh Government has announced that an independent public inquiry to examine its preferred route for the M4 relief road will commence in the Autumn. I look forward to seeing the inquiry\u2019s findings and to a positive outcome to the benefit of both businesses and commuters.<\/p>
