CALM - Campaign Against the Levels Motorway

Photo: CALM members

To relieve congestion on the M4 around Newport, the Welsh Assembly Government wants to build 24km of new motorway around the south of the city. If built the road would:

  • Cost hundreds of millions of pounds
  • Be Wales' first toll motorway
  • Increase traffic levels and pollution in South Wales
  • Devastate important wildlife sites including six Sites of Special Scientific Interest
  • Shatter the tranquillity of the Levels
  • Fuel dangerous climate change

We meet approximately every six weeks on Monday or Tuesday evenings at the Newport Civic Centre, Newport.
