Transport Notes

As well as failing to get the Ebbw Vale train line up and running, news has now reached Ponty Towers that the current dualling exercise on the A465 between Abergavenny and Gilwern is behind schedule. Originally planned for completion by summer 2007 the A465 website now says that work will not be completed until April 2008.

What is it about public works projects and the Heads of the Valleys area? No wonder the Western Mail reported this week on a study which has found (unsurprisingly) that the regeneration of the south Wales valleys is lagging behind other coalfield areas across the UK.
