We are providing £2 million to the Arfor project over financial years 2019/20 and 2020/21. Any future support will be informed by an evaluation of the programme.
We are investing in free school meals and provided additional funding for the food and fun/bwyd a hwyl programme, bringing the total for this year to £900,000. Last year the scheme was run in Merthyr and helped mitigate the impact of universal credit on deprived households.
We were disappointed that the UK Government’s short-sightedness and complete lack of ambition thwarted the Swansea bay tidal lagoon project. We continue to support Swansea bay city region’s taskforce as they explore options for the development of a lagoon project.
