A GRANT of just over £3.5 million to boost the development of North Wales Metro has been announced by the Welsh Government. The funding is part of £30 million being allocated to nearly forty local transport improvements in Wales. The Metro money, £3.531 million, will be used for 10 schemes in four council areas. Transport minister Ken Skates said the Metro support was ‘a key part of this government’s programme to provide a more integrated and efficient transport system for the region’.
