Outside body

Welsh Government is responsible for all trunk roads in Wales, the maintenance and operation of which is delegated to Local Authority Trunk Road Agents.

In 2005/6, following a review of trunk road services in Wales, three Trunk Road Agencies were established to replace the previous eight. The 3 new Trunk Road Agencies covered North, Mid and South Wales respectively.

Following a further review, in April 2012 two new Agencies replaced the former three. The two new Agencies are:

·         The North & Mid Wales Trunk Road Agent (NMWTRA)

·         The South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA) 

Partnership

As one of two Trunk Road Agencies in Wales, NMWTRA operates on the basis of a partnership between the North and Mid Wales Local Authorities:

The North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency covers the area of 8 Local Authorities – Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, Powys and Wrexham.
