Delete points 2 and 3 and replace with:

Notes the importance of supporting communities across all parts of Wales, both urban and rural, to ensure that they are attractive to invest, work, live, visit and study in.

Believes that supporting inclusive growth and building resilient, liveable communities requires a joined up approach to key interventions including economic development, regeneration investment, transport, infrastructure development, planning and skills.

Notes the Welsh Government’s recent Economic Action Plan, Targeted Regeneration Investment Fund, Valleys Taskforce Delivery Plan and National Development Framework consultation as the basis for a genuinely cross-government approach to supporting inclusive growth and building resilient, liveable communities.

Recognises the importance of working with partners including local authorities, city and growth deal regions, housing associations, Transport for Wales and the Development Bank of Wales to promote effective place-making.
