Part of 2. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:35 pm on 27 September 2017.
I thank Russell George for that question. The possibility of a growth deal for mid Wales has been discussed in a number of meetings that I have attended with the leaders of Ceredigion and Powys county councils, both before and after this year’s local authority elections. Informal, official-level discussions have also taken place. Local bodies continue to take the lead in developing any growth deal proposition.
