Cabinet Secretary, UKIP concurs with the Welsh Government’s decision to review or end the Communities First programme. This was a Government flagship strategy designed to eradicate deprivation in Wales. Whilst there are some examples of success, there are also glaring examples of mismanagement. For instance, the 3Gs Development Trust programme in Merthyr spent £1.3 million on staff salaries out of a budget of £1.5 million. Would the Cabinet Secretary confirm that the people of Penydarren, Galon Uchaf and Gurnos were let down by this organisation?
