A group behind previous legal challenges to the A5 upgrade has said the proposed new dual carriageway is an 'irresponsible use of public money.'

A group behind previous legal challenges to the A5 upgrade has said the proposed new dual carriageway is an "irresponsible use of public money."

The comments come after the Infrastructure Minister said he will be recommending that the planned upgrade of the A5 road should proceed. Plans for the scheme were first announced in 2007 but it has been held up by legal challenges and uncertainty over funding. The group is advocating for an alternative to the dual carriageway being proposed - it is calling for a substantial upgrade to the road with more overtaking lanes and bypasses being built as well.
