stretching from Monmouthshire to Bridgend and to Merthyr Tydfil - | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The majority of the money will go on a Metro system - | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
The funding is coming from the Treasury, Welsh Government | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
They say improved transport will make it easier for people | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
to get into work and help businesses grow. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Our economics correspondent Sarah Dickins reports. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Two governments, four ministers and ten council leaders smile | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
for the cameras as the Cardiff City deal is signed. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
There has been determination to get this partnership formed to deliver | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
I am confident the dynamism of this deal will drive things forward, | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
bring in additional investment and make a difference | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
The region is half the population of Wales as a whole so it's | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
going to make a massive difference to a large number of people. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
If you look at transport we know from a lot of people the real issues | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
about accessing jobs, affordability, getting to work quickly, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
that is what the transport scheme is designed to address. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
?125 million of UK Government cash had already been pledged | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
As the Metro develops it goes under the city deal pot bringing it | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
?734 million for the Metro and electrification of the Valley | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
lines at ?495 million for other projects. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
The area is not getting the money handed on a plate. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The cash from the UK Government will come in instalments and to get | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
that it has to prove it is making a difference but the whole economy | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
has got what power behind it and more money is going back | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
to the UK Treasury and taxes and that there are fewer people | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
The deal covers councils from Chepstow to Maesteg | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
but will some communities away from the M4 be left behind? | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
A number of people living in the valleys cannot expect | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
a larger Cardiff to fulfil their employment requirements. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
One of the driving forces behind the deal is adamant that valleys | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Cardiff as a capital city is the fastest-growing capital city | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
in the UK over the next ten years, so we have to make sure those | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
opportunities which come to Cardiff are filtered up into the valleys. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
The detail of where the stations will be opened has not been decided, | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
but the plan is for work to begin within a year. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |

MotoNovo says a ?100 million project could have gone elsewhere. | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
Critics argue Ministers should be out of the Grants business providing | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Some companies need some help and assistance | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
There is nothing wrong with that if I can get 1000 employees | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
The umbrella group for the industry says 30,000 people now work on it. | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
They forecast growth of 30% over the next three years | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
with the creation of 10,000 new jobs. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
In terms of salary opportunities it's going to be from entry level | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
at 15 to ?20,000 to the packages you would expect that the most | :05:34. | :05:46. | |
