Over recent years Lee Waters has been one of the most courageous and consequential politicians in the world when it comes to advocating for safer, more sustainable travel modes and questioning the usually unchallenged primacy of private automobiles.
As Minister for Transport in the Welsh Government he led bold reforms in sustainable transport policies that generated international interest - including a new approach to road building, a default 20mph speed limit in built-up areas, and a set of institutional reforms to embed integrated transport based on 'one network, one timetable, one ticket'.
Prior to becoming an elected politician, Lee had a high level career spanning media and lobbying organisations.
