Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 2 May 2018.
Cabinet Secretary, I think everyone supports the roll-out of the metro system, and it seems to be that at every pinchpoint on the transport network—certainly, in South Wales Central—when a complaint or issue is raised it's referred to as, 'Well, don't worry the metro system is coming.' Can you give us a firm timeline as to when motorists and people who need transport to get into work or just get around their communities will actually start seeing some of those multimodal options that the metro system talks about, because if you drive around South Wales Central, or walk around central station or cycle around South Wales Central, all you seem to see at the moment is gridlock, and it's hugely frustrating for us as elected Members not to be able to offer the timelines—the firm timelines—that many of us want to see delivered?
