Radical business grants shake-up for Welsh economyIt's been a long time in the coming that the grants based system is flawed and needs major re-think.I received an email today from the Welsh Assembly Government outlined their new Economic Renewal Plan, which wasn't rich in detail. I was disappointed though to learn that round table events, which is meant to involving regional business and stakeholders (a Hammer House of Horror fetish?), have already taken place throughout Wales the North Wales meeting was back in February. Is the déjà vu, where the focus is on encouraging inward investment from outside the region at the expense of the small indigenous business? I hope not. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/10476100.stm |
