NO TIME FRAMES, NO TARGETS AND NO FUNDING – LABOUR’S INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY
Commenting on the conclusion of the long-awaited road review, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Transport, Natasha Asghar MS said:
“Once again, we have no time frames, no targets and no funding from this Labour Government. The mystery, mayhem and chaos surrounding Labour’s plan for infrastructure hasn’t gone away with many people left confused as to the future of many projects across Wales.
“To make matters worse, the alternatives that Labour ministers are proposing are little more than a series of sticking plasters devoid of the real change that the people of Wales are crying out for.
“Labour must provide more clarity as to the future of infrastructure in Wales, provide meaningful improvements and stop simply kicking the economic prospects of businesses in Wales into the long grass.”
