There is amazing potential for the Rhondda, especially when it comes to cycling, from a tourism perspective. We have some of the finest and most picturesque climbs in the UK. For example, the Bwlch-Rhigos loop is often used by Tour de France winner, Geraint Thomas, and his team mate, Luke Rowe, when training. I produced this document earlier this year, in conjunction with Sustrans, and it explores the ways in which we could stimulate cycling in the Rhondda, not just for tourists, but for local people who want to get onto two wheels for whatever reason.

Poor cycling infrastructure is a major barrier. In some places in the Rhondda, it's simply not safe to travel up and down the Rhondda, and this has to be improved, especially if we are to bring to fruition the Rhondda tunnel project, which has incredible potential to draw tourist visitors to the area. I welcome what you've said about the Rhondda tunnel, but can you tell us what budget will be available, and when it will be available, to improve the paths that lead to the Rhondda tunnel, because we need that investment in order to make the Rhondda tunnel project viable?
