Motion NDM7221 Darren Millar

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Regrets the failure of the Welsh Government’s Communities First programme to tackle poverty in the most deprived communities of Wales.

2. Recognises the need to deliver, in practice, a co-productive approach to community regeneration, with community involvement in co-designing and co-delivery of local services.

3. Acknowledges the particular challenges faced by seaside and market towns with higher retail vacancy rates and higher levels of deprivation than in other parts of Wales.

4. Calls upon the Welsh Government to establish Seaside Town and Market Town funds to support regeneration in communities across Wales.
