AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoWelsh Transport Overhaul: Wales confirms an 18-month programme to tackle M4 around Newport congestion, including potential Junction 27 closure at High Cross, changes at Junction 26 (Malpas) and restricted access at Junction 25 (Caerleon), with a wider five-year plan for targeted junction moves and resilience. Tolls Questioned: A separate M4 around Newport review says tolls/road-user charging are outside scope for now, but officials haven’t ruled them out later, while warning peak traffic still needs to drop about 25% to prevent worsening jams. Menai Crossing Progress: The Senedd update also backs restarting work on a third Menai crossing and adds practical resilience measures on Britannia Bridge, ruling out a three-lane tidal-flow option. New Coach Link: Transport for Wales launches TaithCymru coach service between Bangor and Carmarthen from Oct 25, with nine return trips daily and promotional fares from £4. Maritime Security: UKMTO reports continued attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, urging cautious transit and suspicious-activity reporting as earnings stay elevated on Gulf–China crude routes. DVLA Reminder: DVLA tells over-70s to renew driving licences every 36 months or face fines, with medical declarations required. Logistics Planning: Peel Land submits plans for 1.3m sq ft manufacturing and logistics at Haydock Point near M6 J23, including secure HGV parking, EV charging and future hydrogen-ready infrastructure.
