Thank you to Deputy Transport Minister for Wales, Mark Hooper, for taking the time to meet with us today.
We welcomed his announcement regarding both the Menai Bridge and the ongoing congestion challenges on the M4, particularly the commitment to undertake a detailed review and report back in the Autumn. Reliable and resilient transport infrastructure is essential for the movement of people, goods and services across Wales and beyond.
Our discussion also highlighted the professionalism of drivers across the coach, van and HGV sectors. Every day, these highly skilled individuals keep communities connected, businesses supplied and the economy moving.
We were pleased to discuss the Road Haulage Association’s key priorities, including skills, infrastructure, facilities, trade, environment, and cost and regulation. We also shared the importance of the RHA’s forthcoming Wellbeing Charter, which aims to deliver a million moments of improvement over the next decade through a focus on mental wellbeing, leadership and resilience, connecting with others, exercise, food and nutrition, and learning and development.
Constructive engagement between government and industry is vital if we are to build a safer, stronger and more sustainable future for the transport and logistics sector.
Thank you to Chris Ashley and Michael Gough FCILT for joining me today and for helping to represent the views of truck, coach and van operators across Wales.
As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome.
