Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Earlier this month, you announced that the Welsh Government was providing councils in Wales with £30 million to improve the state of roads in their areas, and this measure was indeed widely welcomed from all corners of the political spectrum. Councillor Anthony Hunt, Welsh Local Government Association spokesman for finance and resources stated, 'We will look forward to continuing to have constructive and open dialogue to find sustainable responses.' Cabinet Secretary, based on the established highway allocation formula, what amount of moneys will Islwyn's Caerphilly County Borough Council receive from the £30 million investment, and what future opportunities are open to the Welsh Government to directly invest in the Welsh road network?
