M4 Relief Road And The Gwent Levels

EDM number 98 in 1993-94, proposed by Alex Carlile on 25/11/1993.

That this House notes the Government's proposals to extend the M4 relief road from Magor to Castleton through the Gwent Levels; notes that the Gwent Levels have been designated sites of special scientific interest and are the natural habitat of many endangered plants and animals; believes that the building of the road would lead to the decimation of this environment and the extinction of much of this wildlife; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to consider alternative plans for relieving congestion in the area, such as improving the existing public transport and improving existing roads where possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
