Question
Will the Minister provide an update on the Cardiff and Newport active travel corridor plans?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
The Transport for Wales Unit dedicated to accelerating implementation of the Burns recommendations are pressing ahead with the development of a segregated, continuous active travel route between the city centres of Cardiff and Newport. This would be accompanied by a dedicated bus route.
A public consultation took place in March 2022, received over 1700 responses and was supportive of the proposals.
The next step is for us and the Local Authorities to agree a preferred solution, then investigate costs and funding opportunities before making an investment decision.
