Of course, the Member is right to raise the issue that there are many areas across Wales that need regeneration input in terms of some finance. But what I’m cautious not to do is spread the jam too thinly so that everybody gets a little bit but actually it doesn’t make as big an impact as it should do. I want that to be determined locally, so local authorities have those decisions. Of course, the bids, when they come in, if it’s a rural scheme that wishes to be the priority of the local authority, then so be it, but I’m making sure that we have the biggest impact for the financial investment that we make.
