1/7 Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price is calling on the Welsh Government to use emergency legislation to implement a film travel ban into Wales without an official reason ahead of the Easter weekend.

2/7 He says Plaid representatives are being indundated with reports of people arriving at holiday homes in the north and west

3/7 Adam Price: ‘The message that this is a national emergency is not getting through. There are widespread reports of people dangerously flouting the guidelines and making non-essential journeys to their second homes ahead of the Easter break.’

4/7 ‘The Welsh Govt should introduce emergency legislation to impose a full travel ban into Wales without an official permit or valid reason. This should include additional arrangements to help prevent any unnecessary internal travel within Wales or via international transit’

5/7 ‘This would mean roadblocks on all major routes as well as checks at all major bus and rail stations, with the exception of emergency and commercial vehicles which could travel in designated express lanes.’

6/7 ‘Similar measures have been rolled out in Australia, for example, where there is an inter-state travel ban. The police are already doing exceptional work in carrying out spot checks and turning people back when they are found to be on non-essential journeys’

7/7 ‘There will come a time when people can once again make the most of what Wales has to offer. But for now our message could not be clearer - Visit Wales Later.’
