Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 2:04 pm on 29 March 2017.
I was particularly pleased to see that, as part of that announcement last week, there was funding for road safety measures in my area, and particularly near schools. Hakin and Hubberston, Newtown High School, Presteigne primary and Lampeter are all now going to benefit. So, I thank you for that. But, under the Wales Act 2017, Welsh Ministers will now have more power over roads and transport, and that actually includes national speed limits. So, will you be exploring, Cabinet Secretary, how those powers might be used to further advance road safety, particularly in reduced speed outside schools and in built-up areas?
