North West Transport
That this Assembly acknowledges the North West Transport Plan 2035 (NWTP) as a long-overdue step towards addressing the region’s infrastructure needs; recognises that inadequate transport infrastructure has long acted as a barrier to economic growth, investment, and connectivity in the North West; further acknowledges that the illegal waste site at Mobuoy has severely impacted progress on the A6 road upgrade, delaying improvements to a key transport corridor, while also posing serious environmental and public health risks; expresses concern that the North West continues to lag behind other regions in terms of strategic infrastructure investment; calls on the Minister for Infrastructure to accelerate the publication and implementation of a fully funded NWTP that facilitates an integrated, all-island transport network, including the expansion of all-island rail; and further calls on the Minister to work with the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to expedite the remediation of the illegal waste site at Mobuoy, to enable the progression of the A6 road upgrade.
