Planned road-building schemes in Wales have been cancelled and won’t be built unless they comply with strict conditions that won’t cause more emissions or cars, the Welsh government has announced.

The decision by Wales’ Labour-led government was announced on Tuesday by deputy minister for climate change Lee Waters, who said all infrastructure projects in the future must now “reduce carbon emissions and support a shift to public transport, walking and cycling.”
