Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Minister, I'd like to ask for three statements from the Government, please. I'd like to ask for a statement from the Government on urban traffic management. I attended a public meeting in my constituency in Beaufort on Friday evening, and I was astonished to hear people talking there about the dangers they face in their daily lives along the roads through the community. I heard about children being knocked over, about people being unable to walk on pavements and about people being afraid to cross the road. Clearly, people can't be expected to live in these circumstances. And so, I would like to understand from the Welsh Government: what policies and what processes does the Government have in place to prioritise and manage traffic in urban environments? The people of Beaufort can't be expected to live the lives they are living and it's important the Government is able to create the structures and frameworks within which decisions can be taken to enable them to live their lives.

I'd like to ask for a statement from the Government on the future of buses and bus policy, as well. I heard the news on the weekend about the cuts to services in Cardiff. This is something we've seen a number of times in Blaenau Gwent, and bus services serving the communities of Blaenau Gwent and linking Blaenau Gwent with communities elsewhere and with social, shopping and work opportunities are simply falling to pieces. Now, it appears to me that if we're unable to run a bus service serving the capital of Wales in an urban, densely populated area, then the crisis facing bus services elsewhere must be so much greater. I would like to see a statement from the Government on what it intends to do to solve, to react and to respond to this crisis. I'm aware that there is a consultation being undertaken at the moment and I'm aware that the Government intends to legislate on this matter before the end of this Assembly. But that's going to be three, or possibly four years before we have a resolution of this matter. I don't believe that we can wait that long. I believe that we need a response from the Government early and within the next few weeks or months to respond to what I believe is a real crisis facing bus services up and down Wales.

I would also ask for a statement from the Government on the designation of sites of special scientific interest and other special places. I attended a public inquiry on Friday morning in Blaenavon alongside the Member for Torfaen, my good friend Lynne Neagle, and we both spoke at that public inquiry about the potentially disastrous and destructive application to quarry in an area called the 'canyon', which borders both our constituencies. Now, whilst I wouldn't expect the Government to comment upon any live planning inquiry, what I would expect the Government to be able to do is to give an estimation of its policy and approach to the designation of areas in general. It isn't so long ago that I was standing here launching the Valleys regional park and talking about the Government's ambitions and wishes to see us being able to enjoy the landscape and the heritage of the Valleys of south Wales, and now we see a business that wants to destroy that heritage and that landscape. The two are completely incompatible. So, I hope that the Government will be able to make a statement on this matter as well.
