    Welsh Government M4 Corridor around Newport Environmental Statement Volume 3: Appendix 8.5 Newport Docks Historic Built Environment Assessment 2008 M4CaN-DJV-EHR-ZG_GEN-AX-EN-0002 At Issue | March 2016 Job number OXF 9046 CVJV/AAR 3rd Floor Longross Court, 47 Newport Road, Cardiff CF24 0AD Welsh Government M4 Corridor around Newport Environmental Statement Volume 3: Appendix 8.5 Newport Docks Historic Built Environment Assessment 2008 Statement of Use This report has been prepared by Wessex Archaeology Limited in 2008 on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government (now Welsh Government). The work carried out was an assessment of the historic built environment of Newport Docks for the previously proposed M4 Relief Road from Magor to Castleton, Gwent. The contents of this report have been used to inform the baseline for Environmental Impact Assessment of the M4 Corridor around Newport (M4CaN) presented in the Environmental Statement. A brief reconnaissance visit to Newport Docks was undertaken in July 2015 with regard to the current Scheme. The aim of the visit was to review the present state of the buildings within the footprint of the Scheme in order to review any changes that may have occurred subsequent to the more detailed survey presented within this Appendix. The principal change recorded during the 2015 reconnaissance visit was with regard to the roofs of several of the historic locomotive running sheds and engineering buildings in the eastern part of the docks. Components 04a, 04b, 04c, 04d, 04e, 04h and 12 have all been recently reroofed using modern materials, replacing the material described in this Appendix.

  • 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. The Welsh Government’s analysis from March 2016 finds that a new M4 around Newport will improve connectivity within South Wales and with the rest of the UK which will: .

Employers need to talk to employees, Freedom of association is rightly prominent in every charter government needs views from the workplace and above all, and declaration of human rights.
