It’s difficult to reach the state of normality that you talk about, First Minister, when cycling accounts for 1 per cent of all journeys taken in Wales and in Pembrokeshire, and being killed or seriously injured on a bicycle is 33 per cent. Therefore there is a huge mismatch there between the journeys taken by those on cycles and those who are killed or seriously injured. It’s particularly true of younger people, where you have a target of a 40 per cent reduction, and you’ve only reduced the number that are killed or seriously injured by 28 per cent. It’s a reduction, but you haven’t reached your target. So, what further steps are you going to take to improve road safety in Pembrokeshire and beyond, particularly for cyclists and young people who have to make use of the roads?
