Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:44 pm on 5 April 2017.
We’ve got a very joined-up Government and we’ve got a very joined-up community in terms of our interventions with local authorities too. I think the Swansea bay city deal is fantastic for that area and, again, it will be about integrated transport solutions and opportunities of employment. The metro concept is a principle of how communities can be joined up even if they’re not directly affected by the metro. And there is the new franchise condition: how do we make sure that buses or trams, or whatever that may look like for the future, are planned for? I’m sure that the Swansea bay city deal will have that vision as we move forward. It’s got a great team around that provision, with all authorities signed up to that. I hope that that will go from strength to strength post May.
