Responding to the news that Wales is making "painfully slow" progress in getting more people to walk and cycle, Natasha Asghar MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Transport Minister, said:

“Active travel is important for the health of people in Wales as well as reducing the environmental impact of cars for unnecessary journeys.

“However, there needs to be a common-sense approach to active travel, Labour’s current approach is clearly not working and throwing tens of millions of pounds at the issue without any significant change in people’s habits is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

“Instead of forcing people out of their cars for impractical journeys, like they have attempted to do with their 20mph speed limit policy, Labour must encourage people to walk and cycle manageable and safe routes.”
