Claims that there is little public support for the dualling of the A40 are nonsense, says Preseli Pembrokeshire's Conservative AM Paul Davies.

He was reacting to a statement by Mid and West AM Alun Davies, who told the Assembly last Tuesday: "I do not think that there is much support in the Chamber or elsewhere for the dualling of the road."

Paul Davies AM said: "I don't know where Alun has been but I can tell him that there is considerable support for the dualling of the A40 here in Preseli Pembrokeshire.

"It will not only make dangerous stretches of this road safer but will also be a huge benefit both to industry and tourism by making the county more accessible.
"It will encourage investment by businesses both small and large and have a positive effect on long term employment in the county."
