Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:05 pm on 29 November 2016.
Can I thank Dawn Bowden both for her question and for her company yesterday on the snow-capped hills of Merthyr? As we stood there, our only consolation was that members of the media had been sent out 25 minutes before us and had been enjoying the view for a lot longer than we needed to.
The points she makes about the community fund are well made, and it was very good to hear directly both from her and from people running that site the way in which they had been able to make a contribution to some very important local environmental activities. My aim, as I’ve said, is to design a scheme that is administered in the most effective and slimmed-down way in order to go on putting investment into the community aspect of the fund for as long as we can, while revenues allow.
