Will the Cabinet Minister outline the issues that remain to be resolved before the construction of Cardiff Parkway can commence and the actions the Welsh Government is taking to address these, and when will construction work begin?
Cardiff Parkway is a private sector developer-led station proposal, supported by both Welsh and UK Governments. We are committed to working in collaboration with the developer and the UK Government on the development and delivery of the station. This includes agreeing a suitable funding and delivery package between the three parties to enable the construction of the station alongside the other five ‘Burns’ stations for which the UK Government has committed to providing funding for. We are working collaboratively with the Department for Transport and Network Rail via the Wales Rail Board to prioritise development and for commitment to begin construction on these stations.
