The fund was a key part of the collaboration agreement and therefore required the agreement to be renegotiated. We are confident that the new agreement will serve to further develop the industry in Wales.
The Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 sets out the improvement arrangements for principal councils, national park authorities and fire and rescue authorities. The intervention arrangements for the NHS are set out in the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 and in the escalation and intervention arrangements.
This Government has already given a commitment to retain a key presence in Caernarfon, but not in the current property, which is unsuitable. We will be relocating our current office at North Penrallt in Caernarfon to new accommodation in the town at Victoria Dock.

As part of our clean air plan for Wales, we will be consulting on a clean air zone framework, which will ensure the consistent and effective implementation of clean air zones by local authorities wherever they are needed. Officials are working closely with Cardiff council in developing the draft framework.
