Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 6 June 2018.
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary, and outlining what is clearly an impressive record of investment by Welsh Government. Many of these local festivals, of course, provide an opportunity to showcase our heritage and our history. I'm sure that you would want to join me in congratulating the team behind the recent Merthyr Rising festival. Over five years, they've steadily developed a growing success for the town around the festival, which builds on its radical history. But if we're to use our heritage alongside these festivals to develop local economies, how can we ensure that we keep open to the public historic structures like the Ynysfach engine house, which was so integral to the history of the Merthyr rising but which has been mothballed to the public since the beginning of the year?
