QNR – in the Senedd on 14 September 2016.
Vibrant and Viable Places is investing over £100 million in the redevelopment of towns and coastal communities across Wales. Through this programme the South Wales West authorities of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend are receiving funding of over £26.5 million to secure housing, economic, community and infrastructure improvements for the region.
Commercial tenancies are let by local authorities and other public bodies. They play an important part in supporting local economies, in growing businesses and in some cases, in the regeneration of our communities and town centres.
We are looking to build on a successful regeneration programme, Vibrant and Viable Places, which continues to make a significant impact in many communities by creating jobs, supporting people into work and through building new homes. I will be providing Members with further information in due course.
