The final vote is, therefore, on the motion as amended.

(Translated)

Motion NDM4340 as amended:

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

4. 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.
