Well, I very recently approved funding for a new digital delivery manager for town and community councils in Wales, and the expectation is that they will build on the good work that has already been established. Of course, we consulted on the requirement in terms of future hybrid working, and it should be clear that what's required of town and community councils is that the person who's attending remotely should be heard and can hear. So, I think that that can be done very simply at low cost, if necessary. But I'm keen to work with town and community councils, through the new digital delivery manager, to better understand what the specific issues are and if there are ways that we can help resolve them.
