  • Senedd Petitions Committee Report – Red Route
    Welsh Parliament Petitions Committee Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) March 2021 This report summarises the Petitions Committee’s consideration of a petition against the further development of proposals for a new road in north east Wales. It includes several recommendations made by the Committee. The petition 1. Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) was submitted in the name of Linda Scott in June 2019 having received a total of 1,409 signatures, consisting of 1,275 collected online and 134 on paper. Petition Text: We call on the National Assembly of Wales to urge the Welsh Government to withdraw its support for the "Red Route" (A55/A494/A548 Deeside Corridor Improvement) on the grounds that: 1) The construction of the new road through ancient woodland, and across agricultural land, contradicts Planning Policy Wales and the Well-being of Future Generations Act. 2) The recently published plans for a new A494 Dee Bridge, widening of the A494 and other improvements will deliver the Deeside traffic improvements without the need for the ‘Red Route’. 3) The costs used to justify the choice of the “Red Route” failed to account for necessary upgrade of the Flintshire Bridge. It also does not include the addition www.senedd.wales Petition P-05-886 Stop the Red Route (A55/A494 corridor) of crawler lane at a major congestion point on the A55, the hill out of Northop towards Holywell. Congestion at these points will be made worse by the construction of the Red Route. The underestimate of the costs used imply that the proposed road cannot be considered value for money.

  • SW1A 0AA 11 March 2021 Rt Hon Mark
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA 11 March 2021 Rt Hon Mark Drakeford MS First Minister Welsh Government 5th Floor Tŷ Hywel Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA Sent by email to [email protected] Dear First Minister We are writing to you on behalf of the Welsh farming community to voice our serious concerns at the outcome of the recent Senedd vote on annulling The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021. You and 29 other Members voted against annulment. Members of both the FUW and NFU Cymru have written to us to say that, in classifying the whole of Wales as a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, the Welsh Government has put their livelihoods at risk. The huge upfront investment required to comply with the regulations will make their businesses unviable and uncompetitive, causing massive damage to the sector. In fact, we are aware that the Regulations are already having a detrimental impact on the mental health of many in agriculture. Undoubtedly, this should come as no surprise to you when considering the warning that this might happen in your own Explanatory Memorandum. However, what is alarming is that your Welsh Government have pursued the NVZ regardless of the concerns raised about farmers’ health and wellbeing. Alongside agriculture, there could also be a potentially negative impact on the environment. Suckler cow herds have been declining in Wales. These herds provide a very important contribution to biodiversity, managing some of our most important habitats. Some farmers are already warning us that they are now looking to give up keeping cattle.
