Mae’n hanfodol ein bod yn parhau i gydweithio â’n partneriaid Rhanbarthol i barhau i gyflawni’n gryf a pheidio â gadael i Lywodraeth y DU a bygythiad Bil y Farchnad Fewnol i’r setliad datganoli yng Nghymru danseilio datblygu economaidd rhanbarthol datganoledig yn rhanbarthau Cymru.
The UK Government’s recent decisions on the delivery of the UK-wide Levelling Up and the Community Renewal Fund (the pilot to the Shared Prosperity Fund), which bypass the Welsh Government, fail to give Wales its fairs share of investment, and will undermine our strategic and regional approach to economic development in Wales, raises many questions for our Regional Stakeholders, not just in Local Authorities, but also to those in the academic, private and third sectors who have benefited from hundreds of millions of pounds of European Structural and Investment Funds. It is vital we continue to work with our Regional partners to maintain strong collaborative delivery and not let the UK Government and the threat that the UK Internal Market Bill poses on our devolution settlement in Wales undermine our devolved delivery of economic development across the Regions of Wales.
