LOCAL MP David Davies has welcomed publication of the proposed order to impose a 50mph speed limit on the A40 in Monmouth.
Mr Davies said the draft order, which covers the stretch of road from Gibraltar Tunnels to Dixton Roundabout, was ‘long overdue’ but ‘excellent news’.
“Everyone in Monmouth knows that this road is not safe and it is gratifying that the Welsh Assembly Government has finally acknowledged the concerns of residents following years of campaigning and several serious accidents,” he said.
