Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:57 pm on 6 December 2016.
Last week it was announced that Swansea is No. 13 in a list of the UK’s most congested towns and cities, and that apparently results in a drop in the city’s productivity, as well as polluting the air. Three years ago, Swansea council installed their nowcaster system to monitor air pollution levels, identify poor air quality and redirect traffic. It’s still not ready, despite the Welsh Government committing £100,000 of its money to that system. In aiming to tackle climate change, how will you collect carbon emissions data, how will you use those data and then how will you take to task any partners that you rely upon to help you get those data if they don’t come up with the goods?
