The agenda and reports for the Cardiff Capital Region Cabinet can be accessed here.

The Cardiff Capital Region Cabinet, comprising the ten Leaders of Blaenau Gwent; Bridgend; Caerphilly; Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff; Torfaen; and Vale of Glamorgan was established in 2017 to oversee the delivery of the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal.

The City Deal provides local partners with the powers and the resources to unlock significant economic growth across the Cardiff Capital Region. The City Deal also provides an opportunity to continue tackling the area’s barriers to economic growth by: improving transport connectivity; increasing skill levels; supporting people into work; and giving businesses the support they need to innovate and grow. The deal will also develop stronger and more effective leadership across the Cardiff Capital Region.

In particular, the Cabinet is responsible for overseeing the City Deal Investment Fund, comprising £495m, as detailed in the Joint Working Agreement signed up to by all ten Councils.

The Joint Working Agreement is the legal framework for establishing the Cardiff Capital Region Cabinet and can be accessed here.
