City and Growth Deals

The Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee is undertaking an inquiry into City and Growth Deals.

The Committee is seeking to understand the latest position in relation to each of the four City and Growth Deals and is keen to look in detail at the following areas:

>>>> 

>>>Progress to date and pace of delivery – including progress made against targets, and any pressures or challenges affecting delivery

>>>Consideration of some of the most significant projects and investments – such as Aberthaw power station in the case of the CCR City Deal (including the potential financial implications of the forthcoming legal settlement)

>>>Understanding the impact of the deals - including the regional spread of activity

>>>Governance and democratic accountability - including the role of Corporate Joint Committees

>>>Availability of private sector investment

>>>How the activities of the City and Growth Deals fit within the wider business support landscape - including the Welsh Government’s review of business support, and whether there are any opportunities for greater collaboration or coordination with Welsh Government activity.
