Cycling UK reacts to Welsh budget announcement

Responding to the Welsh government’s latest budget announcement, Gwenda Owen, Cycling UK Wales advocacy lead, highlights what this means for cycling and walking:

“It’s concerning to see a lack of clarity in today’s Budget regarding funding for active travel. Without clear direction from the government on the future of walking and cycling, there is a real risk that Wales’ groundbreaking commitments to active travel could be undermined.

“The Active Travel Act set Wales apart as a leader in sustainable transport, but without proper investment, ambition will evaporate. The people of Wales deserve access to affordable, sustainable, and healthy travel. It stands to benefit our economy, health and climate and we will continue to advocate for a future where cycling and walking are at the heart of Wales’s transport system.”
