£90m bypass hailed by Carwyn as on budget actually cost twice the estimate

September 8, 2010 11:46 AM

Responding to news that when opening the Church Village bypass in Rhondda Cynon Taf, The First Minister said: "It has been completed on time and on budget".

Jenny Randerson AM, the Welsh Liberal Democrats' transport spokeswoman, said: "It's clearly misleading to say it's on time and on budget.

"I remember this being discussed almost the entire life of the Assembly. The most worrying thing about this is how much the repeated delays have cost. If they'd had to deal with something which was totally unexpected and of considerable size, I would expect them to explain why the cost had escalated so much. Even taking into account inflation, it's twice the cost it should have been."
