This is not Welsh Government money but Westminster money. It’s funny that when cuts come about the Welsh Government are quick enough to point out that the budget for Wales is handed down from those nasty old Tories but any good news story and the money is good old Welsh Labour!
You must realise that ALLmoney used by the Welsh Assembly is `settlement` money from OUR UK government?. God forbid we should all feel grateful to the Tories. That really would be the time to do a SNP in Wales.
We both know a Labour Government is as competent at managing money as Kathryn Szrodecki is at managing her obesity.

Tax payer is spot on, when colleges, libraries, leisure centres, public toilets and any council run service is scrapped and closed the Welsh roll out their same tired excuse…”it’s the evil Tories in Westminster who have cut our spending”, but when they’re throwing money at an airport, fancy paving slabs in a town centre or a £36’000 shed to put bikes in then it’s the marvellous Welsh Assembly who are generously paying for something with their huge piles of cash and we should all be grateful for it.
£90’000 for road safety education and training….isn’t it the responsibility of parents to teach their children road safety, why does it cost £90’000 to tell somebody that roads are dangerous and if you step out in front of a moving vehicle chances are you’re going to be killed.
