Pembrokeshire Misses Out On Green Transport Cash - Again!

Thursday, 19 March, 2009
Pembrokeshire has been ignored for the second year running in a hand out of green transport cash, says Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies.

Pembrokeshire has been ignored for the second year running in a hand out of green transport cash, says Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies.

The Labour-Plaid Welsh Assembly Government has announced £95 million worth of Transport Grants to county councils aimed at developing sustainable transport – but none of the money is coming to Preseli Pembrokeshire.

Last year Pembrokeshire won one of the smallest payouts of any county in Wales, with just one scheme in Preseli Pembrokeshire winning a grant.

"I cannot believe that Preseli Pembrokeshire has been ignored once again," said Mr Davies.

"To be overlooked once is unfortunate, but to be overlooked for two years in a row? It's unforgivable.

"I shall be writing to Transport and Finance Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones to ask why he seems determined to marginalise Pembrokeshire in this way."

"We will not be able to improve north Pembrokeshire's integrated transport system without help and yet the Welsh Assembly Government seems determined to ignore the needs of this part of Wales."

The only projects to win funding in the latest bout of Transport Grants are both in the south of the County.

Saundersfoot and Kilgetty have been awarded £900,000 between them for Safe Routes in Communities schemes.
