Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:16 pm on 22 January 2020.
I think I've made it very clear not just through the letter but also in my answers today that any such proposal—and at the moment, it is only an idea—is applied in a fair way; that a proposal such as this does not lead to communities feeling that they are being pitched against one another; that they're interests are in some way being prioritised below or above another community; that everybody feels that they are benefiting from a regime of this type; and that everybody is equally contributing to it.
I stated in my letter to the leader of the council that I'm very keen to work with the local authority and with the region's authorities in examining the mechanisms by which we can accommodate the needs of the travelling public, but also make sure that we respond adequately and appropriately to the climate crisis. And that means that we do need to turn the dial in terms of inspiring modal shift not just in this region, but across Wales.
