£600,000 investment for Prestatyn Bus Station welcomed

Vale of Clwyd AM, Ann Jones has welcomed £22 million of investment for Wales’ four Regional Transport Plans announced today by the Labour-led Welsh Assembly Government.

This investment will allocate £600,000 for improvements at Prestatyn Bus Station.

The funding will be shared between the four regional transport consortia that represent local authorities. Each of the consortia has submitted a Regional Transport Plan to the Assembly Government that outlines how they will maintain and improve the transport network in their area.

Ann Jones AM said: “This funding proves Labour’s commitment to modern and safe public transport systems right across the country.

“Labour’s free busses have proven how popular bus travel is amongst older people especially so this investment really is aimed at the needs of the local area.

“I’m sure this will help boost the image of the town and I hope those everyday journeys are more pleasant and accessible!”
