Members were updated on the progress to deliver a Regional Transport Plan for the five-year period 2025 to 2030, as detailed within the circulated report.

Discussions took place around resources that would be required to develop the regional Transport Plan. It was clear from discussions that there was a lack of resources and funding. It was noted that there hadn’t been a commitment from Welsh government on providing any resources to help support this plan. Officers provided reassurance to members that they will continue lobbying Welsh Government to provide funding to support the Regional Transport Plan.

Following discussions, members were concerned around the approach and lack of resources to support this plan. Therefore, it was agreed that the Chair of the Corporate Joint Committee – Overview and Scrutiny Sub Committee, would have delegated authority to write a letter to the Chair of the Corporate Joint Committee, detailing the committee’s views and concerns that have been raised within the three subjects that have been discussed at today’s meeting.

Following scrutiny, the report was noted.
