The title of this Order is the Regional Transport Planning (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2008. It comes into force on 12 June 2008 and applies in relation to Wales.

Amendment to the Regional Transport Planning (Wales) Order 20062.

(1)

The Regional Transport Planning (Wales) Order 20063 is amended in accordance with paragraph (2).

At article 5, for “30 June 2008”, there is substituted “30 June 2009”.

Minister for the Economy and Transport, one of the Welsh Ministers
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Regional Transport Planning (Wales) Order 2006 (“the 2006 Order”).

Specifically, this Order amends article 5 of the 2006 Order, amending the date upon which the Welsh Ministers require all qualifying local transport plans to be replaced, from 30 June 2008 to 30 June 2009.

The amendment is necessary due to delays in the publication of the final Wales Transport Strategy. The local transport plans are required to be consistent with and implement the Wales Transport Strategy, and therefore cannot be finalised until the Wales Transport Strategy is published.
