Ken Skates MS, Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, will give a keynote address/ministerial statement on current transport issues in Wales.
The Welsh Government has led the way internationally in respect of progressive climate and social policy, enshrining in law the need to protect future generations through the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and Senedd Cymru were the first parliament in the world to declare a climate emergency in April 2019.
The Welsh Government continues to display forward-thinking ambition, particularly within the transport sector. The publication of many notable commitments and strategies in Wales includes the Llywodraeth Cymru (Welsh Government) Roads Review.
Now three years on from the Roads Review and in light of the updated version of WelTAG, there is increasing experience applying this in practice. This includes a number of cases where local authorities have returned to the drawing board to identify new options at locations where previous road solutions were cancelled.
