Cardiff city deal: Money appeal made to the Treasury

The Welsh government has challenged the Treasury to match nearly £600m it has pledged for economic development and transport projects in south east Wales.

A formal Cardiff "city deal" submission was made ahead of the chancellor's spending review on 25 November.

The document was signed by the leaders of 10 local councils across the region.

Welsh ministers have pledged £580m and the councils £120m, while £580m from the Treasury would make for a deal worth nearly £1.3bn.
