Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:41 pm on 18 June 2019.
Well, I thank the Member. I'm not in need of geographical instruction from her. The Tech Valleys programme will be one that, of course, goes beyond the areas that I have referred to in answering the question from the Member who put it to me. Let me give the Member just one example of how the project will go beyond and into her area: we will publish the feasibility report from the project Skyline very soon. The project looked at the possibility of communities managing the landscape that surrounds their town or village, and is focused on three valley communities in Ystradowen, Caerau and Treherbert. That report will provide proposals addressing issues around governance, environmental protection, social inclusion and the sustainability of business models for community stewardship of landscape assets. And I'm quite sure that residents in her constituency are every bit as attached to the area in which they live, keen to take community responsibility for the stewardship of those assets, and the programme will support them in doing so.
