Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:17 pm on 2 May 2018.
I'd like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for the answer. As you know, the north-east Wales metro and improved integrated transport system is an ambitious plan that is certainly welcomed by myself and my constituents in Alyn and Deeside. I was very pleased to welcome you to Deeside last month to see and learn more about the plans for improved transport links, especially on the Deeside industrial estate. But rural areas are often forgotten about, so I'm particularly pleased that you share my ambition for those areas to be fully connected as well. Would the Cabinet Secretary agree with me that investment in areas like these—both urban and rural areas—is key to the continued economic success of Alyn and Deeside and, indeed, the north-east Wales region?
