Huw Lewis fan club
Evidence that Huw Lewis' leadership campaign has moved up a gear comes from the website of Torfaen County Borough Council. They will be meeting at 5pm today when Councillors will be considering the following motion:
From Councillor Richard Clark
Motion
That this Council supports the ongoing efforts of the Assembly Member for Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney, Huw Lewis in relation to the dualling of the Heads of the Valley Road and asks the Welsh Assembly Government to take action to honour previous commitments to dual the entire route.
Rationale
The northern part of this County Borough and by association the whole County Borough has benefited from the Heads of the Valley Programme. The heart of that programme is the actual A465, Heads of the Valley Road. The dualling of this road has been long promised but progress has been slow and piecemeal. For Torfaen it provides an important route to our Northern Gateway and is vital for business and tourism in that area and the northern part of our County
Borough.
Watch out for a whole spate of similar motions along the route of the A465.
