Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 24 October 2018.
Cabinet Secretary, part of the new franchise includes a commitment to a half-hourly rail service in the Vale of Glamorgan. I've campaigned for a half-hourly service for many years, believing that the development of an integrated public transport plan is a more sustainable way to achieve connectivity for commuters, Vale residents, visitors to the heritage coast and for Cardiff Airport. Cabinet Secretary, I know you're aware of the significant opposition to Vale proposals for a major new road linking the A48 to the M4. Campaigners are very concerned about pollution and a lack of environmental group representation on the road review group. So, do you agree that my call for a half-hourly service in the Vale should be brought forward? It seems even more urgent.
