Whilst improved transport links are not part of Swansea bay city region proposal, which, quite correctly, is based upon improving economic prosperity, and thus the gross value added, there’s a need for improved bus, road and rail links within the city region. Some people are physically remote from employment, retail and leisure facilities, sometimes when they don’t actually live that far away from them, but, because of the lack of transport facilities, they’re unable to get there. Can I ask for a Government statement on a programme to improve transport links within the Swansea bay city region?
