'Essential' Welsh Government acts on Rural Wales report

A Labour AM has called for an equivalent to the city deals struck around Cardiff and Swansea for rural Wales.

Eluned Morgan said a strategy is needed as a matter of urgency so rural areas can have the same kind of attention parts of urban Wales has had.

It is one recommendation in a wide-ranging report calling for a coherent rural economic strategy post-Brexit.

Ms Morgan is presenting the plan to economy secretary Ken Skates on Monday.

She said it was "essential" the Welsh Government acts on the report.
