Senedd Member Samuel Kurtz remains concerned that recently announced safety measures for the Nash Fingerpost junction don't go far enough folowing the most recent fatality.
Confirmation of these measures; signage and road marking, were announced by the First Minister following repeated calls by Kurtz in the Senedd Chamber.
In raising the danger of the junction at First Minister's Questions, Kurtz highlighted the fact that the Welsh Government have been aware of issues for over a decade yet have failed to act.
In response to his questioning, First Minister Mark Drakeford confirmed to Kurtz that the recommendations of the SWTRA report will begin to be implemented this financial year.
Speaking outside the Senedd Chamber, Samuel Kurtz said:
"The Nash Fingerpost junction safety risk is well documented and the recent tragic death highlights once more that the Welsh Government needs to act.
"The improvements mentioned by the First Minister in answering my question, I don't think, go far enough to address the serious risk presented by the current junction layout.
"For over a decade these safety concerns have been known by the Welsh Government. I'm committed to making sure another ten years don't pass by without this Labour Government pulling its finger out and doing the necessary improvements to make this junction safe."
