Businesses, residents and visitors in Mid Wales are being offered a chance to help shape the future of transport in the region.
Growing Mid Wales represents the two local authorities of Ceredigion and Powys, who are also the Mid Wales Corporate Joint Committee. It holds responsibility for regional transport planning, strategic land use planning, and promoting economic well-being.
The Mid Wales Corporate Joint Committee has launched a public consultation on the draft Regional Transport Plan.
The Plan aims to show improvements on getting around Mid Wales for work, school, healthcare, shopping, or fun. The Committee said the Plan aimed to make travel easier, greener, and better, while tackling important issues like climate change and rural accessibility.
This Plan is a roadmap for the next five years and beyond. It will guide decisions on transport, from improving public transport infrastructure to creating safer walking and cycling routes.
Councillor James Gibson-Watt, Chair of the Mid Wales Corporate Joint Committee, and Leader of Powys County Council, said:
“We want to hear from everyone – residents, businesses, and even tourists – because transport affects all of us. Your ideas will help create a system that works for the people of Mid Wales today and in the future.”
The consultation reflects the combined expertise and collaboration of the Mid Wales Corporate Joint Committee, its Transport Sub-Committee, and key partners such as Ceredigion and Powys County Councils, Transport for Wales, and the Welsh Government.
Councillor Bryan Davies, Vice-Chair of the Mid Wales Corporate Joint Committee, and Leader of Ceredigion County Council, added:
“This Plan is about making travel easier and better for everyone, while protecting our environment. Whether you run a business, live here, or visit, your opinion is vital. Please share your thoughts and help us make a real difference.”
