Text

I thank the Minister for her answer, but there seems to be a redefinition of what constitutes active travel. It is rather disappointing that fixing street lights is included as showing a commitment to active travel when we know that in some constituencies — in my North Belfast constituency, in particular — we really lack new active travel infrastructure. What impact does the new definition or new way of thinking have on the overall spend on active travel in comparison with the previously used understanding of active travel?
