Inquiry into community assets—evidence session 4: Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Yes, I'd absolutely accept that and understand that completely. Do you think you or Welsh Government have that link into RSLs enough to either encourage them to do that type of activity or incentivise them to do that type of activity as well?

Inquiry into community assets—evidence session 4: Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Ministers. Thank you for your time this morning, it's really appreciated, and I certainly welcome the comments you made earlier about sharing some information with the committee around the funding and the grant side of things…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
Thank you, Minister, for your response and also for outlining your interactions with patients through the community health councils, as you mentioned, and how important their voice is. A crucial place for this voice in the future, of course, is the newly…

Questions to the Minister for Economy
Can I also support Jack Sargeant's calls there for that continued support, and thank you, Minister, for your commitment to that for north Wales? As you say, it will be a significant economic improvement for us in the region. Last week, Minister, I had the…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Would you accept, then, the logic you're taking there, if you take it to its logical end, in terms of vastly reduced speed, reduced risks of death and injury, which could certainly be the case, therefore driving at 1 mph should be the default?
, Plenary
The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
I absolutely accept that logic and understand that completely, but what's happened here is that residents have not being listened to by Government in terms of the concerns that they've raised throughout this trial. As the Member has mentioned over there, it…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
Very generous of you, Llywydd. I will not mention it again. [Laughter.] So, as Natasha Asghar mentioned, we certainly support letting our councils put 20 mph speed limits outside schools, hospitals and other areas, and I've certainly seen that impact on the…

The Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022
I'm grateful to be able to contribute in today's motion on the Restricted Roads (20 mph Speed Limit) (Wales) Order 2022, in which Wales, of course, could become the first nation in the world to adopt the 20 mph default speed limit on residential streets. I…

The Corporate Joint Committees (General) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2022
In terms of these regulations put forward on CJCs, we certainly support that closer link with local authorities, and so, from our side of the benches today, we will be supporting the motion.

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 3
Thanks, Chair. I'll just come back on that point, Natalie, if you wouldn't mind, just a little further, the relationship there between local authorities and some of that disparity that we see across Wales. I don't know if you heard the previous session, but I…

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 3
Yes, thanks, Chair, and good afternoon, everybody—we really appreciate your time with us today. I just want to ask a question, really, around funding and just to get your observations, thoughts, on the challenges that are faced by community groups in…

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 2
I know time's going, but I just want to clarify the point in terms of reserves, because, of course, the risks around using reserves for recurring spend we'll all be aware of, but the idea here is about lending that, so that money would come back in, and…

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 2
Thank you, Chair. I appreciate those comments. I think there are two elements to the funding; one around grants, and another perhaps around borrowing as well. For many of these organisations, borrowing from high-street banks or other traditional avenues can…

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 2
Yes, thanks, Chair, and good morning—good afternoon, everybody. And thank you for your time—much appreciated. One of the challenges we've heard from groups so far is around funding and securing funding for those groups to either—well, initially related to…

They're all non-ethical? None of them have ethics? Is that what you're saying?

Sorry, are there non-ethical mortgages, then? You mentioned ethical banks; which are the non-ethical banks?

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 1
Okay, thank you. Just really briefly, then, and perhaps just for brevity, I'm just interested in the opportunities that community ownership presents for community-led housing and funding in particularly, and you touched on it a moment ago, Casey. But housing…
