A petition to Newport Council Leader Dimitri Batrouni and Welsh Government Transport Minister Ken Skates.

SCRAP the proposed changes to the Old Green roundabout with plans to replace it with a traffic light system. The roundabout was built in 1975 to ease the traffic flow going into the City Centre. Reverting back to a traffic light system would take the City back to the 1960s with blocked roads, daily queues and heavy traffic congestion. NO CHANGE to Old Green roundabout.

The public consultation was a ‘stitch up’. There was no option to select ‘No Change’. The public backlash was enormous. The proposals should have been stopped at that point in the Spring / Summer of 2023.

The proposed changes are not wanted by an overwhelming percentage of the public. Nobody asked for the changes. Nobody wants the changes. These changes will kill our much loved City Centre. These changes will throw uncertainty over the iconic murals located on the roundabout.
