Thank you to Welsh Local Government Association for the inclusion of Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales’ research and priorities in your recent article on regional inequalities. We have already engaged significantly with local government over the past year, and will continue to enhance these relationships as the Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales partnership continues to develop, and new research projects undertaken. We are optimistic that by demonstrating the data, evidence and research outcomes to policy makers in local government that we can all collaborate to bring even greater benefits to those living in Rural Wales.
