Yesterday (28th March) the full Council and Cabinet of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council considered and unanimously approved the Joint Working Agreement Business Plan for the Cardiff Capital City Region. The Plan which forms part of the governance arrangements for the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal to ensure the £1.2BN set to be invested in Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC and 9 other Local Authority Areas in project such as the METRO, digital expansion, infrastructure, housing, skills and training, innovation and business growth has maximum impact.
The Joint Working Agreement Business Plan details a small but strategic set of priorities including a Joint Cabinet Fund along with the METRO that should have a significant impact on the development and growth of the Capital region, with Rhondda Cynon Taf set to benefit from its proximity to the capital.
BID Manager Victoria Pulman said ‘ We welcome Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC full Council and Cabinet’s approval yesterday (28th March 2018) of a governance structure for the Cardiff Capital City Region to ensure accountability and accessibility of decision makers for the investment being made across the region.
The BID welcomes the investment from the Cardiff City Regional
Deal into Pontypridd and Rhondda Cynon Taf and is working hard to ensure all
our businesses are ready for the challenges and opportunities ahead from the deal’
