£110 million has been announced for local authorities to improve
local transport across Wales.
This major investment from the Welsh Government will help
people get around more easily and help make better transport
accessible for everyone.
The grants will fund projects that:
- improve the condition of local roads and address disruptions
caused by severe weather;
- pilot new bus services and upgrade bus journey times and
waiting facilities;
- create inclusive streets that make it easier for people to
walk, wheel and cycle;
- install more publicly available electric vehicle charging
points;
- create safer routes for children to travel to schools;
and
Projects set to benefit include the continuation of vital bus
pilot schemes in Denbighshire and Gwynedd, including the T8
service and Sherpa'r Wyddfa, providing rural communities with
better access to employment, services and facilities; £1.6m for
drainage and resurfacing work on the A483 Fabian Way in Neath
Port Talbot to resolve frequent flooding issues on this key
access road; safety improvements around Llanidloes schools in
Powys, making it easier for children to walk, wheel or cycle to
school; an expansion of the walking and cycling network in east
Caerphilly to provide safer access to the town centre and railway
station.
£6m has also been made available for the Milford Haven
Interchange, which will allow the start of building work to
improve the existing Milford train station to create a new
interchange for buses and taxis as well as better public realm
spaces and active travel links.
The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales,
, said: "Connecting communities and
delivering better transport for all is at the heart of this £110
million investment. We want to make it easier for people to
travel to work, school, healthcare and to see friends and family,
while also building a more sustainable transport network for
future generations.
"These improvements will make real differences to everyday
journeys - whether that's safer routes, better paths for walking,
wheeling and cycling, or more reliable bus services. We're
working with councils to ensure this money delivers the greatest
benefits to communities across Wales."
