As a member of Sewta, Bridgend County Borough Council has played a key role in developing the Regional Transport Plan for South East Wales.
The system of Regional Transport Plans (RTP) being developed by the local government consortia in Wales will support the Welsh Assembly Government’s Wales Transport Strategy, and its National Transport Plan.
The RTP, and the regional modal strategies that support it, will set out the transport policies and projects for the region. The RTP also contains a 5-year programme of transport schemes which will be located within, or will affect, Bridgend County Borough. The RTP will take effect in April 2010.
Copies of the RTP, the supporting regional modal strategies and the minutes of the Sewta Board meetings are available at www.sewta.gov.uk. Further information regarding Sewta can be obtained using the contact details below:
