The Welsh Government has failed to provide a cost benefit analysis of this project and though consider it an essential part of the LDP have given absolutely no evidence to support the arguments that it will attract business to the ABP. We know Aston Martin didn't ask for it nor need it. When asked why they cannot upgrade the existing Eglwys Brewis road they say that costs are about equal but delays would be unacceptable but again they have provided no evidence to support these points. The plan is to upgrade parts of the existing road anyway, so how can the costs be about the same? This project is an unnecessary waste of taxpayers money at a time when the money needs to be spent on projects which help Wales and the local areas. How much money has already been spent? only the Welsh Government can answer that, but no doubt they won't.
