Thank you very much to the Deputy Minister for your statement this afternoon, and I hope it wasn't a traffic jam that caused your delay this afternoon, as that would be slightly ironic. I'm sure you'll agree with me that most roads are necessary, and we will not address the climate emergency by simply banning road building. In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, we must look at the journeys taking place on the roads and, wherever possible, look to active travel.

My constituents in the Vale of Clwyd lost a vital active travel route when storm Christoph washed away the Llanerch bridge, removing the only viable active travel route between Trefnant and Tremeirchion. Imagine the dismay when the Welsh Government informed the local communities that there were no moneys to replace the bridge, meaning that residents of Trefnant, going westbound on the A55, have to take a 2-mile to 3-mile detour in order to get home, which is in essence causing more pollution to the environment. Deputy Minister, will you now reconsider that decision and ensure the Llanerch bridge is replaced with a structure that's more able to withstand the severe storms that are now more likely due to climate change? Thank you very much.
