We are about to start work on a new road safety strategy looking beyond the current
2010 targets, which will include taking a fresh look at improving safety for all road
users, including cyclists.
Remember 2010 is after the next compulsory Westminister Election.
The Department is about to commission an integrated research programme assessing
road user safety issues in relation to cycling and make recommendations for future
policies and practices. This is a three year project and covering three areas:
• cycle helmet use;
• cycling infrastructure; and • rider/driver attitudes to cycling.

is an example of it's transport strategy. From a cyclists point of view these are warm words of comfort, but is there any action? I suspect it will be rather a long time before the gabalfa interchange becomes a pleasant ride.
I would say to the Assembly's credit though, that they are inviting opinion and making it relatively simple to put views forward.
I wouldn't worry. They might think they have a limitless supply of that word, but at current usage levels the government will run out of the word 'sustainable' by 2025
