Cardiff city deal a 'once in a generation chance'

Cardiff's multi-million pound city deal is a "once in a generation opportunity," Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has said.

He has invited ten leaders to a meeting in Cardiff on Thursday to assess support for the idea.

Cardiff council leader Phil Bale said a £500,000 fund is needed to develop a business case for a bid.

Mr Crabb said he hopes the deal can make the area "a strong engine of job creation".
