Petition: Support the M4 Relief Road Black Route
Y Gwasanaeth Ymchwil | Research Service # Y Gwasanaeth Ymchwil | Research Service Petition: Support the M4 Relief Road Black Route Y Pwyllgor Deisebau | 9 Hydref 2018 Petitions Committee | 9 October 2018 Research Briefing: Petition Number: P-05-838 Petition title: Support the M4 Relief Road Black Route Text of petition: We call on the Welsh Government to continue with its plans to build the M4 Relief Road along the proposed Black Route, and following the announcement that the Welsh Government will table a debate on the M4 plans later this year, we call on the National Assembly to support the project. The need for a new motorway around Newport is overwhelming with the congestion around the Brynglas Tunnels negatively impacting on businesses and people from across South Wales. The first proposal for a relief road was published in 1991, almost 30 years ago. Although the failure to take action over three decades isn’t solely to blame, we believe it hasn’t helped the economic well-being of the current generation and has contributed towards: . The employment rate in Wales being an average of over 3% lower than the UK employment rate since the mid-1990s. The Welsh GVA per head being consistently lower than 75% of the UK average since the late-1990s with most recent figures showing that Cardiff’s GVA per head is the lowest 1 of the four UK capital cities.

Yours sincerely, Nick Ramsay AM Chair Grwp yr Economi, Sgiliau a Chyfoeth Naturiol Economy, Skills and Natural Resources Group Cyfarwyddwr Cyffredinol - Director General Nick Ramsay AM Chair Public Accounts Committee 8 October 2019 Dear Chair M4 PROJECT COSTS I am responding to your email of 22 July and further letter of 25 July, in which you requested additional information following the Committee session on 15 July. I am sorry for the delay in so doing, but it has taken a little time to pull all the relevant detail together in the form requested. Use of data and presentation Cost estimates were produced at each stage of the M4 Project development using the cost price base and VAT treatment that was appropriate to each development phase. The price base year was kept at 2015 throughout the Inquiry process to aid comparison and assessment of scope changes during the Inquiry, such as the additional off-slip proposed near Magor services and the accommodation works developed in Newport Docks during the course of the Inquiry. -

The Chair explained that this would need to be followed up with the Head of Finance. The Chair commented that if Nash Community Hall hired the hall for non-profit then they were entitled to the rates exemption. If the Hall was leased exclusively to a class, then the Hall would be charged. A representative stated that management of the working group was required for the halls to prosper so they are hired out and used all day. The representative stated that the money made was used on the hall and it was not hired out to Newport City Council to hold elections, it was to be used for local residents. It was requested by the Chair for Nash Community Council to be consulted on the above information. A representative asked whether political interest should be declared on the Declaration of Interest Form. The Chair confirmed that it was good practice to fill it in but this was not compulsory. -

Written evidence from witnesses: – Department for Transport Examination of Witnesses Witnesses: David T. C. Davies and Chris Heaton-Harris. Q135 Chair: Good afternoon and welcome to this session of the Welsh Affairs Committee, the concluding evidence session of our inquiry into rail infrastructure in Wales. I am delighted this afternoon that we are joined by two UK Government Ministers, the Minister of State at the Department for Transport, Chris Heaton-Harris, and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Wales Office, David T. C. Davies. Welcome to both of you. By way of an opening question to Minister Heaton-Harris: your role as Minister of State with responsibility for rail at the Department for Transport, is that a UK role, an England-focused role or an England and Wales role? What is the geographical area that you cover when it comes to your rail responsibilities? Chris Heaton-Harris: There are elements that are UK, there are elements that are England and Wales, and there are elements that are England only. It all depends on which area you would like to look at.
