Thirty four members of the Stakeholder Forum convened with representatives of Welsh Government and Arup staff to explore over 100 possible solutions, old and new, to safety, capacity and resilience related problems associated with travel in the M4 corridor between Magor and Castleton. Building on the robust exploration of possible solutions In order to help make the appraisal information facilitated by the Forum , the WG and Arup team have How are the packaged measures appraised? easier to understand, each measure is assessed developed four ‘Packages’ of measures that work together through appraisal tables using a 7-scale optimally to address the problems of the M4 Corridor, Arup have appraised each measure to identify: colour coding system: Magor to Castleton. • what it would entail; • what impacts it could have on the economy, society and Large Positive Impact (+++) Package development has involved further research into the environment, in the context of M4 CEM Programme Aims, and Moderate Positive Impact (++) feasibility and deliverability into selected measures – both on WelTAG criteria; Slight Positive Impact (+) a stand-alone basis, and again in the context of the complete • its compatibility with other measures as part of the package; No (or Minimal) Impact (N) package of complementary measures. • how well it addresses the goals of the programme; and Slight Negative Impact (-) • its acceptability, feasibility, deliverability and risks.

The ‘alternatives considered’ are measures that have been identified by either policy makers, stakeholders or the public – some of which may have merit in addressing some of the M4 CEM objectives. However, following detailed analysis and consideration as part of the packaging of the possible measures; these ‘alternatives considered’ fall outside of the M4 CEM Programme, for a number of possible reasons. The Lagoon measures fall into two categories: Barrage 1. Those that will help towards meeting the objectives but could be delivered by others outside of the Junction Highway M4 CEM Programme; and closures upgrades 2. Those which have been discarded due to poor performance against the M4 CEM Programme objectives. What will happen to the measures falling outside of M4 CEM that are still good ideas? Policy Climbing Each measure’s Appraisal Summary Worksheet sets out an action for the Welsh Government. Whilst poor measures lanes performing measures may not be pursued; those that have merit will be passed onto the relevant potential delivery bodies for consideration. It is important to Welsh Government that these measures that have some merit in helping address the wider transport problems in South Wales will not be lost. Therefore this Workbook will be used to raise these ideas and help join up thinking between different Welsh Government departments and other potential delivery bodies. Alternatives Considered Why have some measures been discarded and what will happen to them? Education Bus prioirty Following appraisal, some measures considered have been identified to have large adverse impacts and programmes on M4 deliverability issues. There may be a number of reasons why a measure presented as an alternative considered has been discarded from the M4 CEM programme. Each measure is presented through an Appraisal Summary Worksheet in this booklet

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
