Roads Review Panel (Welsh Government)

An independent panel appointed by the Welsh Government. The objectives for this roads review are: To ensure road investment is fully aligned to the delivery of; WTS ambitions and priorities, Welsh Government Programme for Government June 2021 (PfG) commitments and to the forthcoming second low carbon delivery plan: Net Zero Wales. To develop a set of criteria which identify appropriate circumstances in which expenditure of Welsh Government funds on roads should be undertaken, taking into account the above. To use these criteria to make recommendations on which of the current pipeline of road investment projects should be supported, be modified or have Welsh Government support withdrawn. To provide guidance for reallocating road space on parts of the road network which might in future benefit from enhancement spend. To consider how any savings might be allocated, in order to ensure problems on the road network are addressed and in particular make recommendations on how to tackle the backlog of road maintenance.
