Minister, there can be unforeseen consequences to regeneration on occasion. Improvements to the road infrastructure, for example, in Fishguard means that Transition Bro Gwaun, which is a community regeneration project, is losing its home, which is used to have a surplus food cafe, involving many local people and also doing a very good environmental job. They also do a wider regeneration job in that they have a community turbine part-owned by the local community. Obviously, this is a decision, I accept, for Pembrokeshire County Council, and I’ll be contacting them directly, but I think a clear direction from Welsh Government that there should be an integrated approach to ensure that we don’t lose things when we do regeneration activities would be useful in this context.
