Controversial plans to close M4 Port Talbot junction changed
Controversial plans to close Junction 41 of the M4 motorway from August have been amended, with a peak-time closure of the Westbound on-slip only to be trialled.
Public meeting to be held on M4 junction closure
Traders and residents of Port Talbot are due to attend a public meeting later to discuss concerns over the impact a planned trial closure of an M4 junction will have on the town.
So far a petition against plans to close Junction 41 has gathered around 13,500 signatures, including those of Aberavon AM Hywel Francis and Canon Nigel Cahil, the rector of Aberavon.
It's expected one of the main purposes of today's meeting is to decide a date to travel to the Senedd and lobby Business Minister Edwina Hart, who has agreed to the trial.
