I agree with those who say that we really haven't done enough over the last five years. I was involved in the drafting of this Act, and, really, our progress on implementation and impact has been pretty disappointing. I think that we have to now pursue at pace the change that we must make—£62 million has been suggested, I think, by Adam Price. This is small beer—absolutely small beer—compared with the charges that will be imposed by the courts, who will drag us back for failing to tackle our air pollution. So, active travel is one of the key ways in which we can do something about the air pollution that is literally killing some of our citizens, and we cannot tolerate going on the way we are going at the moment.

When I was coming into the Senedd this morning, I passed a man on crutches who was taking his child to school. He was walking to school. Probably, he didn't have a car, but, frankly, if he can do it, anybody can do it. There is no excuse for people who are using the car to go for short journeys to take their child to school. Not only are they increasing the amount of poison that their child is consuming, because they're in a car, than if they were on the road, but they're also doing the wrong thing as far as the rest of the community is concerned. And so, we have to both use carrots and sticks to get the change that several people have suggested that we need to make. 

I agree with Julie Morgan that nextbike has been a great innovation and development in our capital city. The roll-out of nextbike in Cardiff has been its most successful of any city anywhere in the world. They've only been going since April/May, and they now have—or will have, by this weekend—500 bikes in operation, and 50 stations where you can pick them up and drop them off. And they've got the technology to ensure that it's not worth the while of people to try and steal them, because in the process they've wrecked them and then they're unusable. So, I think it's a fantastic innovation, but it's not sufficient. We have just got to change the attitude that people have towards doing everyday journeys on foot and on bike.

I'm very pleased to see the Cabinet Secretary for Education here, because I do feel that what we do with our young people in our schools is key to making that change, because we need to ensure that proficiency cycling in schools is meaningful, and that it leads to people actually using their bicycles for getting to school. It's very, very rare for children to bicycle to school, and it seems to me that that's one of the things that is something all young people ought to have the opportunity to do, and we ought to have loan schemes to enable parents to buy a bike for their children if they aren't able to pay for it in one go. I would like to see all school leaderships having to provide active travel plans for all their schools, and to make it clear that that is to be expected—that that is how pupils will travel to school.

We cannot go on as we are doing at the moment. We cannot deliver on 'A Healthier Wales', which is our latest strategy for improving the NHS, unless we change people's behaviour. So, I do hope that this report will prompt a much more vigorous leadership to making the changes that are required, because too often, these highway engineers are not people who cycle. When I went home on Monday, I saw this new sign that said—as I approached Splott bridge—'Cyclists rejoin the road'. Well, that's rejoining the road at the narrowest point when they could be staying on the pavement, where they're much more safe. So, it's clear that people absolutely still do not understand. Equally, the alleyways that Cardiff is blessed with are used as rat runs by vehicles in the morning, and they actually push people who are walking to school off the path. They shouldn't be there at all. We need to use our alleyways as safe cycling and walking routes.

I hope that the Cabinet Secretary will be able to assure us that there is going to be this step change in policy, not least because we need to meet our climate change obligations and reduce our transport emissions, and this is one of the key ways in which we can do it.
