Protest over planned closure of Port Talbot M4 junction

Around 300 Port Talbot residents and traders are expected to travel to the Senedd today to protest against the proposed closure of a junction of the M4 into the town.

The group will hand over a petition which has been signed by thousands of people who oppose the plans, claiming it will cut off the town.

Both the westbound on-slip and eastbound off-slip roads had originally been earmarked for a trial closure. But last week it was announced that those plans had been alteredand that a peak-time closure of the Westbound on-slip only will be trialled from August.
