QNR – in the Senedd on 26 February 2020.
Through our new tourism action plan, we are committed to growing tourism and investing in key projects across Wales. The South Wales West region will receive £125.4 million from the Welsh Government for the Swansea bay city deal, which aims to boost the local economy, including the tourism sector, by £1.8 billion and generate almost 10,000 jobs.
Our economic priorities for the whole of Wales, including Aberavon, are set out in the economic action plan. These include investing in people, places and business through skills, infrastructure and business support.
In our draft budget for 2020-1, an area of investment that will be made available to local authorities includes £219 million for sustainable travel, which contains an additional capital allocation of £25 million in 2020-1 to invest in making travel, especially by public transport, more resilient against extreme weather conditions.
Our national transport finance plan, which was updated in May last year, sets out our transport investment proposals in Wales. Our investment in mid Wales is across all modes.
