🚦 Traffic Turmoil in Chepstow! 🚦
Chepstow is facing constant traffic chaos, with vehicles inching through town due to congestion from the A48 and old Severn Bridge. But there’s fresh hope! A proposed relief road could finally offer some much-needed reprieve.
The “Forest Gateway Road” is gaining traction, aiming to connect Bulwark in Chepstow with a new bridge south of the River Wye. This would greatly ease the gridlock that’s been hemming in the town. 🌉
But there’s a twist: Councillors are divided. While some back the much-discussed bypass, others are pushing for a new Severn crossing from Lydney to Sharpness. 🚗💨
Councillor Paul Pavia is urging the council to prioritise tackling this bumper-to-bumper nightmare. He’s set to present a motion calling for updates on the proposed road plans and seeking funding routes. Could this be the breakthrough Chepstow needs? 🗺️
The decision isn’t just about Chepstow—it’s a cross-border effort, with the need for collaboration between Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, and the Welsh and UK governments.
Will Chepstow see smoother journeys ahead, or will the debate continue? Stay tuned! 🛣️
