A third Menai crossing to Anglesey is 'not happening any time soon', says Lee Waters.
He said road schemes with "multi-modal corridors" including public transport could be developed rather than building roads purely to accommodate more cars., with the rest rejected or revised.
Plans for a third Menai crossing have been replaced by a review into how to improve congestion and the resilience of the current bridges as well as getting people to use other ways to travel.Instead, improvements will be made to the A494 at Aston Hill in Deeside. "We will never be able to shift the resources to create a quality public transport system when we keep feeding a pipeline of ongoing, really expensive carbon intensive road projects," said Mr Waters.and criticised his party's plans.
He also said financial support for the bus industry introduced since Covid could not continue but conceded that"We put £150m of taxpayers money to stop the bus companies from going bankrupt," Mr Waters added.
