Could the cabinet
member tell me what proposals she has put forward and how much has
Newport received?
When can we expect to
see these proposals implemented?
More than £100 million is
being invested in improving public transport and encourage economic
growth, the Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport, Ken
Skates has said. Wales’ 22 local authorities were invited to
submit proposals to the Welsh Government for local transport
improvements in their areas that will help to deliver the
priorities and ambitions of Wales’ Transport Strategy -
Llwybr Newydd.
These
include:
§
Addressing disruptions to the highway network caused
by severe weather
§
Improving road safety
§
Delivering walking and cycling
routes
§
Improving bus journey times and waiting
facilities
§
Delivering publicly available EV charging
infrastructure
§
The substantial support, which is designed to help
local councils to improve transport in their area, includes funding
for Active Travel and Safe Routes, Road Safety, EV charging
facilities, road resilience, local transport and unadopted
roads.
