Teithio Llesol: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru
Every time you start giving money out, and I won't go into the standard spending assessments, you always have winners and losers—you have happy and unhappy people. The Welsh Government appear, as far as I'm aware—tell me if I've got this wrong—to be now…

Thank you. The active travel fund is the largest single area of dedicated expenditure. It's been operating for some time. Is it operating effectively?

Would you find it helpful to have a Welsh Government review of exactly where each local authority was and what can be done to identify good practice in one, and then provide that information to another?

Moving on, again for individual councils: how would you respond to the suggestion in the auditor general’s report that national policies intended to support active travel do not always play through to local decisions?

Sorry, my question—. Sorry, apologies, I don't know what went wrong; I did ask you those questions in Welsh initially, but it seemed to work much better in English.

Yes, share people who are experienced in certain areas—for you and them to share expertise. Gwynedd is just the other side of the bridge. They will be employing people in Caernarfon; you'll be employing people ar yr ynys, on the island—isn't it possible for…

Thank you, because that leads me very nicely on to my next question. The use of external consultants; when you haven't got sufficient capacity inside organisations, do you use external consultants? Are they very expensive and is it value for money?

Can I just ask about the WLGA? How are they co-ordinating best practice being shared? I know this is incredibly difficult, and we have problems in Wales in sharing best practice in every other area, so I'm not expecting you to be the ones who do share best…
