Action points:
The Minister for Local Government and Communities agreed to provide a note on the following:
· How much money is invested in the bus and rail network
· Provide an update in March on progress with implementing the “Go Cymru” card for rail.
· The Welsh Government’s definition of community transport
· Clarification on the number of Community Transport groups that are now self-sufficient, without government funding.
· What stage is the Minister at in terms of making a case for additional powers, as the current legislation on railways doesn’t align with the Minister’s priorities.
