Question
Will the Minister confirm whether the Welsh Government has mapped the relative levels of transport isolation and related deprivation of communities across Wales to inform decisions on future investment in public and community transport?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
We are working with Transport for Wales on a number of fronts to ensure that future public transport investment is targeted to support better access to employment, education, training, health and other key facilities for residents living in deprived communities and we are using the Welsh Indices of Multiple Deprivation to inform this work. For example we are currently looking to improve bus links to The Grange Hospital and are using multiple deprivation data to develop proposals.
