Thank you, Minister, for your statement and for the personal commitment that both you and the Cabinet Secretary for the economy have shown for this agenda.

In many ways, passing the legislation is the easy bit in this project. This is an ambitious and generational project to try and change attitudes and behaviours, and even though, through the existence of the Act, we have some very progressive design guidance, probably the leading design guidance in the UK, it’s how it’s implemented that matters. For example, in my own constituency, Carmarthenshire County Council have recently built two new sections of cycle path alongside the main road between Llangennech and Dafen, and rather than following the guidance that says there should be a 3m-wide path, they’ve decided to build two paths: a 1.5m-wide path on one side, and a 1.5m-wide path on the other side, each with ‘one way’ signs on them. I’ve never seen a ‘one way’ sign on a cycle path before, and it’s highly unlikely it’s going to be given much attention.

So, it’s crucial that we engage with the target audience here, which is not people who already cycle; it’s people who have never cycled. This, after all, is about changing behaviour, and so it’s particularly disappointing in the consultation on the first maps that only around 30 people have been consulted by each local authority across Wales. Would she do her best to make sure for the consultation on the next iteration of the maps—the maps where we’d like to see the routes—that we engage as many people as possible, as I say, not people who already cycle and walk, but people who do not?
