AM will not have a say on road

-

NEW Deputy Transport Minister Lee Waters has confirmed he will not be involved in the decision about the proposed M4 relief road, of which he has been a critic.

The Llanelli AM said that during the discussion about him becoming Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport it was made clear he will not have a say about whether the scheme should go ahead.

Speaking the day after First Minister Mark Drakeford announced his new cabinet, Mr Waters said: “When I was offered the post, we both agreed that it would inappropri­ate for me to be involved in the decision around the M4,”

Mr Drakeford will make the final decision on the proposed road.
