“We urgently need to unlock the true potential of this corner of Wales." Nick Ramsay, who has represented the constituency in the Senedd as a Conservative since 2007 and is standing as an Independent candidate after being deselected by the party, has also long supported the plan. "I have repeatedly made the case for a Chepstow Bypass to ease congestion and pollution in the town," he said. “The reality is of course that at least two thirds of the new road would be across the border in Gloucestershire so we need to see the UK Government commit to this project wholeheartedly.”
