The Minister for Climate Change, Julie James said, “I am pleased with the re-appointment of Dafydd Trystan Davies as Chair of our Active Travel Board.

The pandemic has cast a large shadow over our work over the past two years, but I’m confident that with the commitment from Welsh Government to develop active travel across Wales and positive engagement from local authorities and other partners we’ll be able to make significant strides forward over the next two years. The climate emergency we face demands nothing less.”
