motion for debate:
NNDM6947
Huw
Irranca-Davies
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Notes that:
a)
young people in Wales have some of the lowest levels of physical activity in
the United Kingdom, contributing to rising levels of obesity and associated
health issues such as diabetes 2;
b)
several communities in Wales suffer from illegally high levels of air
pollution, with one community experiencing the worst air quality outside
London;
c)
congestion on the roads is estimated to cost the Welsh economy £2bn every year;
d)
targets for carbon emissions from transport in Wales have consistently not been
met;
e)
levels of walking and cycling in Wales are in decline, with falling levels of
active travel to school being a particular concern; and
f)
each of these issues could be ameliorated if the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013
was effectively implemented.
2.
Calls on the Welsh Government to refresh its ambition for active travel in
Wales by producing a comprehensive active travel strategy including ambitious
targets and a detailed plan for long term investment in active travel
infrastructure.
