Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:36 pm on 4 October 2022.
Minister, there's a growing campaign in Bridgend to reinstate bus services that have stopped, following the decision of Easyway bus company to cease trading. In my view, the council has a duty to its residents to ensure that public transport is accessible for people living in Oaklands, Broadlands and Pen-y-fai, as well as supporting those who need public transport to access Glanrhyd Hospital. Will the Minister schedule a statement from the Deputy Minister for Climate Change to outline what discussions Ministers are having with local government about public transport for those communities now reliant only on their cars, and for the protection of our environment, which relies on us being more ambitious about public transport? Thank you.
