Yet again the citizens of Newport (and surrounding areas) are to be inconvenienced in their lawful business by this junket known as Velothon Wales. By whose authority are public highways to be closed, for the benefit of vehicles that pay no road fund licence or compulsory insurance? It seems to me there are people in positions of trust who would rather pander to minority interests than defend the rights of their electorate to free movement.
