Councillors Support Upgrades to A470
Councillors have backed a motion to maintain and upgrade the A470 trunk road, the longest road in Wales, spanning 186 miles from Llandudno to Cardiff.
At a Powys County Council meeting, Plaid Cymru group leader Cllr Elwyn Vaughan proposed the motion, highlighting the need for attention to certain sections of the road.
“But there are sections of the road that still need attention and this highlights to whoever will be in power next May how important this road is to Powys, both for business and socially,”
Cllr Vaughan noted that some investment has been made in recent years, including stretches from the Dyfi Valley to Gwynedd and from Brecon to Merthyr Tydfil.
The motion aims to bring the issues with the A470 to the Welsh Government's attention.
