We've agreed a budget deal with @DoddsJane, which will provide an extra £100m to support the public services we rely on every day.
This is on top of the extra £1.5bn announced in our Draft Budget and will deliver improvements for every part of Wales.

Where 20mph is the right speed, it works well.
New police recorded collision stats show in the 12 months after the introduction of 20mph there’s been fewer collisions, deaths and serious injuries on 20 and 30mph roads, compared to the previous 12 months.

These stats show how 20mph is saving lives - leading to fewer collisions, deaths and serious injuries.
We must get the right speeds on the right roads, but to see these figures falling is positive.
Latest quarterly data shows there were 771 police recorded road collisions in 2024 Q3, 16% lower than in the same quarter in 2023 and the lowest Q3 since records began. The number of collisions has generally decreased since 2010. gov.wales/police-recorded-ro…
ALT The line chart shows a time series for the number of police-reported road collisions in Wales each quarter from 2010 Q1 to 2024 Q3. The number of quarterly road collisions has declined steadily over the last decade.

We're building a brighter future for Wales, and young people are at the heart of our plans.
Thats why we're providing £225m so our schools, colleges and other settings can help meet the needs of learners in their area.

If Plaid Cymru refuse to back a Welsh Labour Budget which provides billions of new investment in schools, hospitals and public services, the people of Wales will see right through them.
Mark Drakeford 🏴 retweeted
The Draft Budget shares the values of the people of Wales.
Ambition. Trust. Care for one another, and those who are the most vulnerable.
The @WelshGovernment has provided extra funding to Sports Wales to help clubs with damage caused by recent storms.
Grants from £300- £5000 are available.
Applications are open until December 17th
