The National Transport Finance Plan sets out the measures we are taking to ensure that the Swansea bay region is connected via reliable modern and integrated transport network to other key agglomerations across Wales and beyond.

We continue to recognise the importance of heavy industries to the economy of the whole of Wales and our priority remains to develop and strengthen its future.

Inclusiveness is at the heart of our approach to City Regions. Their purpose is not just to ensure that our major cities become drivers of growth and opportunity, but that we also deliver the alignment, collaboration and joined-up thinking that allows growth and opportunity to be spread across Wales.

Our actions supported over 40,000 jobs last year and nearly 150,000 jobs in the last Assembly term. Our increasing employment rate is outperforming all other parts of the UK and we have seen major employers like Aston Martin and TVR announce the creation of high quality jobs in Wales.
