NDM8218 Welsh Conservatives Debate - The roads review

NDM8218 Darren Millar (Clwyd West)

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes the report of the Welsh Government's roads review panel, The Future of Road Investment in Wales.

2. Regrets the lack of engagement by the roads review panel with the public, elected representatives, local authorities, businesses and the third sector and others during the course of the review. 

3. Believes that the roads review panel’s recommendations to scrap investment in critical road projects designed to improve road safety, address congestion, decrease air pollution and deliver economic benefits fails to deliver the transport infrastructure the people of Wales rightfully deserve.

The Future of Road Investment in Wales

The following amendment was tabled:

Amendment 1 Sian Gwenllian (Arfon)

Delete point 3 and replace with:

Recognises the need for bold and radical action in the transport sector to help reach net-zero emissions before 2050.

Calls on the Welsh Government to commit to more urgent investment in public transport and electric vehicle infrastructure so that communities across Wales have greater access to low or zero-carbon transport options.
