Policy & Actions

Priority 3: Developing the Spatial Economy

In order to promote the balanced development of the region and to reflect national policy priorities the Forum is proposing the following actions:

• The preparation of key centre studies setting out the economic, social and physical development activities planned in the Swansea Bay area and the Haven area of Pembrokeshire.
• The establishment of a regional communications pilot project exploring means to provide high capacity internet connections for those areas where Broadband connectivity through ADSL enabled exchanges is not an option.  In all other areas to encourage ADSL enablement.
• To dual and upgrade identified road connections in order to improve journey times and to reduce the closure of strategic arteries through accidents.
