The Wales National Transport Plan 2015 was out for consultation yesterday
This will interest many of you

The Wales Transport Strategy was published in 2010 and is a statutory strategy required by the Transport (Wales) Act 2006.

The Wales Transport Strategy sets the policy framework for transport in Wales and the outcomes that transport interventions should contribute to. The National Transport Plan sits within the framework provided by the Strategy and sets out in more details how the policies and objectives in the Strategy will delivered.

Within the framework of the Wales Transport Strategy, the National Transport Plan focuses on delivering five key priorities:

economic Growth
access to Employment
tackling Poverty
sustainable travel and safety
access to services
The new National Transport Plan 2015 will set out in more detail how the Welsh Government proposes to deliver in those areas of transport for which it is responsible, to achieve the outcomes as set out in the Wales Transport Strategy from 2015 and beyond.

Just had a quick look - not much of a plan...... :roll:

 

[Greenback]

I didn't expect much, so I'm not really disappointed. Or surprised.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Yeah that's true. No mention of Ebbw Vale - Newport - Scant references to Beddau, Hirwaun, Abertillery. Very disappointing. I bet they've blown the cash on the M4 releif road!

 

[Greenback]

The cost of the road will be higher as well because of the opposition to it, and the need to have inquiries and reviews along the way. There won't be any money left for any other forms of transport!
