Public consultation
Our Stage 1 consultation is running for four weeks from Tuesday 23 June to Tuesday 21 July 2026.
We recognise the vital role local knowledge plays in developing any project and we are keen to seek feedback at a point early in the process to allow people the opportunity to influence our proposals for Western Link 2. The deadline for providing feedback is 11:59pm on Tuesday 21 July 2026.
Public information events
As part of this Stage 1 consultation, we are holding five public information events where we will present information about the proposals and members of the project team will be available to answer your questions. You will also be able to view copies of our maps and technical documents. There will be both Welsh speaking and English speaking members of staff at the public information events.
Please see the table below for the details of each event.
