The North Wales Regional Transport Plan (2025-2030) was developed by Ambition North Wales – as the region’s Corporate Joint Committee, alongside partners including local authorities, Transport for Wales and Welsh Government.
In order to incorporate a wide range of views and consideration the process of developing the final Regional Transport Plan involved a number of key actions and stages, as set out below:
✅Public consultation
Our public consultation on the draft Regional Transport Plan for North Wales was open for 12 weeks - from 20 January to 14 April 2025.
During the consultation period we encouraged the public, businesses, third sector organisations, community groups, visitors – in fact, all with an interest – to look at the draft Plan, and feedback. It was possible to respond online - via a Virtual Engagement Room, by email or by FREEPOST.
To ensure the Plan was widely accessible, it was produced as an ‘Easy Read’ by Learning Disability Wales, in an alternative ‘Easy to Read’ format, and a set of Frequently Asked Questions were also published.
✅Feedback considered
- All feedback received during the public consultation was carefully considered and used to update the draft Regional Transport Plan and associated documents, as appropriate.
✅Draft Consultation Report
- A draft Consultation Report was prepared, setting out the feedback we received alongside an explanation on how we were taking it into account.
✅North Wales Corporate Joint Committee’s Strategic Transport Sub-committee
- The draft Consultation Report was considered by the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee’s Transport Sub-committee in June, to help discuss and agree our approach to updating our plans.
✅North Wales Corporate Joint Committee
- On 18 July, the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee (CJC) considered the recommendations from the Strategic Transport Sub-committee. The CJC approved the final North Wales Regional Transport Plan and associated documents to be submitted to Welsh Government for consideration and approval.
✅Welsh Government approval
- Ken Skates MS, Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, announced approval of the North Wales Regional Transport Plan on 28 October.
✅Publication
- The North Wales Regional Transport Plan and associated documents were published upon Welsh Government’s approval.
Next steps
- Local authorities in North Wales will begin delivering RTP schemes in April 2026, with monitoring and review led by the North Wales Corporate Joint Committee’s Strategic Transport Sub-Committee.
