POWYS County Council have joined up with fellow authorities and businesses in calling for a unified plan for cross-border road and rail investment which is deemed “critical”. The group has urged the Union Connectivity Review panel to look at the issues that have led to a delay in multiple projects moving ahead in Mid Wales and the Borders. Projects affecting Mid Wales include: • The A5, A458 and the A483 corridor (which includes the recently announced Pant Llanymynech bypass) providing a key economic corridor across the border, essential to Oswestry, Shrewsbury and neighbouring towns in Wales such as Welshpool and Newtown
