Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 12 December 2017.
Thank you, First Minister. On Friday night, I held the latest of my monthly public meetings, and top of the list of the concerns of people in Tycroes, just as it was in Pontyberem and Llangennech and Kidwelly, was volumes of traffic. Now, the deadline has recently passed for councils to submit their long-term plans for a network of active travel routes they'd like to create over 15 years, and, properly done and funded, these have the potential to cut traffic as well as improve health and local neighbourhoods. But the feedback that the new cross-party group on active travel has heard from right across Wales is that councils aren't being ambitious enough. A bit of route here and there won't encourage people out of their cars. So, would you congratulate Cardiff council for acknowledging that they can improve on their draft and for being willing to submit a more ambitious plan within a year, and what will you do to make sure the plans approved by the Welsh Government set us on a different path?
