Part of 3. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 3:27 pm on 9 May 2018.
Can I thank the Member for her questions? Swansea has a fantastic future ahead of it. The progress that's been made locally in ensuring that it's a more attractive place in which to live, in which to learn and in which to invest should be admired by all. Indeed, I think Swansea sets the template for many other towns, cities and regions in Wales and the UK when it comes to place building and ensuring that the quality of place is at the centre of any economic development strategy.
In terms of what else we can do, I'm absolutely determined that employment opportunities existing elsewhere, or which are going to be created elsewhere, are brought to those people who are affected by this decision within house, so that we can not only offer within Virgin Media employment workshops, but also ensure that we are taking information about alternative employment into the workplace, so that people don't have to scramble around searching for jobs, worrying whether they're going to be able to make ends meet when Virgin Media finally close their doors. So, again, I would call on Virgin Media to accept our request for those workshops and for those stakeholders that will form the taskforce to be able to have access to their premises.
