Decision details

With the agreement of the Chair, County Borough Councillor S. Bradwick spoke on the item.

The Cabinet RESOLVED:

1.    To note the additional resources provided by Welsh Government; and

2.    To the additional investment and funding arrangements as set out in Section 4 of the report.
