Thank you for that response, Minister. Now, in the foreword of the Welsh Government's infrastructure investment strategy, you said that

'It is essential that the role which infrastructure plays is maximised, and that we have the infrastructure in place to support the Wales we want to hand on to future generations.'

And I very much agree with that statement.

Now, one infrastructure project that I have been campaigning for for several years now is a footbridge on the A487 through lower town Fishguard, and yet little progress has been made, despite continued commitments from successive Welsh Government Ministers to look at the issue. Minister, it's vital that pedestrian safety is a priority for this Government, so can you tell us what discussions you've had with the Deputy Minister for Climate Change about these types of projects, and, given your comments in the infrastructure investment strategy, will you confirm that funding will be made available so that pedestrian safety schemes like this are able to go ahead in the future?
