£400,368 fund aimed at helping more Welsh people get online
Figures show 1.6 million people in the UK can't access the online world and the money go towards supporting ways of tackling digital exclusion.
Secretary of state for Wales Jo Stevens said: 'Navigating the digital world is increasingly important, from applying for jobs to managing money and accessing support services.
'We want people in Wales to thrive in the modern online world, and we are working with all our partners to achieve this.'
The Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund could go towards putting on workshops to familiarise people with tech and schemes donating devices like phones and laptops to the digitally excluded.
Welsh Government cabinet secretary for social justice Jane Hutt said: "For over a decade, Wales has led the way in digital inclusion, and our Digital Strategy for Wales makes clear our aim to ensure everyone who chooses to can engage safely and with confidence with digital.
'Being digitally included means having the basic digital skills and tools needed for everyday life - from accessing vital services and applying for jobs to staying connected with friends and family.
'This new funding from the UK government will build on the progress we've made, helping to further our lead and support the aim to support people to meet the minimum digital living standard.'
Tackling digital exclusion will be crucial to raising living standards across the UK as part of the UK government's Plan for Change as it will help more people apply for jobs online, use the NHS app to book doctor's appointments, or get advice on government services.

Council tax bills could be about to change - and you would pay less each month
At present, council tax bills are normally spread over ten months every year - but a new shake-up wants to make 12 months the default Council tax bills will be spread out over 12 months by default under Government proposals that are currently being discussed. It means you would pay less each month, although your overall council tax bill for the year would remain the same. At present, council tax bills are normally spread over ten months from April to January every year. This is because when you pay in ten instalments, you don't pay a council tax bill in February and March. You can request your payments be split over 12 months but the proposals, which were first announced in June, want to make this the default. The average band D household would pay approximately £38 less each month if they paid over 12 months, according to figures from the the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The average council tax bill for a band D property is currently £2,280. You will still be able to request to pay your council tax bill over ten months if you want to. The consultation is also proposing slowing down the debt collection process for when someone has missed a council tax payment. If you miss just one council tax payment, you can be asked to pay the rest of your yearly bill upfront. Councils can then send in bailiffs if you continue to not pay, which results in added legal costs being added to your bill. The consultation is looking at capping additional costs and ensuring households are given information about what help they could be entitled to, if they are struggling to pay. It will also become easier to challenge your council tax band, if you believe you may be paying too much. There are also proposals to change the name of the "severe mental impairment" discount to "significant cognitive impairment" discount. The consultation on these changes to the council tax system is due to end on September 12, with any changes set to be confirmed in autumn. Minister for Local Government and English Devolution, Jim McMahon OBE said: 'As part of our Plan for Change, we're putting working people first. 'We are listening and taking action to make council tax fairer, more transparent and easier to manage. Under our plans, local government will be there to support, and not to punish, people who fall behind.' Cut your council tax bill Check if you're eligible for some sort of council tax discount. For example, your bill is reduced by 25% if you live alone, or if you are classed as severely mentally impaired, or you claim benefits, you may be entitled to 100% off your bill. If you're in too high of a council tax band, you may be able to challenge this and get thousands of pounds back, plus lower bills going forward. But do your research first, as if you're in too low of a council tax band, your future bills will go up.

Businessman who defrauded firms in £630k swindle jailed
He was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday. Mackland, 50, of Aberdeen, pretended to other businesses that the cheques he presented to them for tractors and machinery would be honoured if they were handed to a bank. However, those companies lost out as there were insufficient funds in Mackland's account to make the payments, but he still obtained goods worth tens of thousands of pounds. READ MORE: NHS worker who murdered his wife jailed for life Man jailed after £100k shed swindling scheme Man jailed over bid to import £5m of cocaine from Mexico to Scotland Moira Orr, who leads on Major Crime for COPFS, said: 'Fraud is not a victimless crime. It strikes at and erodes the basis of trust upon which all businesses rightly depend. We take such criminality very seriously. 'Businesses and individuals suffered considerable financial harm as a consequence of Barry Mackland's crimes. 'But thanks to partnership working between Police Scotland and the Crown Office and the Procurator Fiscal Service, he has been brought to account for his crimes. 'As prosecutors, we are wholly committed to tackling financial crime of this kind.' Mackland's offending took place between March 2022 and June 2022 and involved two firms in Forfar, one in Stonehaven and a fourth in Lincolnshire. Evidence led in court by prosecutors revealed how he persuaded the Scottish dealers to supply him with vehicles to the value of £500,000 knowing the cheques he used as payment would bounce. Payment was never made and the vehicles were not returned. And he pretended to the company in Lincolnshire that he would supply them with a JCB for £52,200 and then failed to supply the vehicle or return the money. In total, the overall value of his fraudulent activity was put at £630,000. Mackland will now be subject to confiscation action under Proceeds of Crime laws to recover funds illegally obtained.

£400m flagship Welsh project needs more money to become reality
£400m flagship Welsh project needs more money to become reality The Welsh Government may need to put more money into the planned Global Centre of Rail Excellence Plans for the world's first integrated train and rail infrastructure testing facility, which promises to create more than 1,100 permanent jobs in one of the most deprived areas of Wales, are now unlikely to be realised without the Welsh Government making a bigger financial commitment. The £400m Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE), first proposed by the Welsh Government seven years ago, is earmarked for a 700-hectare site – the size of Gibraltar – at Onllwyn in the Dulais Valley. The project would consist of two electrified 7km looped testing tracks for rolling stock and infrastructure, both designed to operate 24/7 year-round. It would also include train storage and maintenance facilities, a control centre, a 100-bedroom hotel, as well as training and R&D functions. The land, which the Welsh Government acquired from opencast company Celtic Energy, already has planning consent and, subject to securing finance, is shovel-ready. A later phase, outside of the £400m fundraise, could also see a rail-related technology park, potentially privately funded. The project has received expressions of interest from more than 200 firms looking to utilise its facilities, including Network Rail, Transport for Wales, and leading train manufacturers such as Hitachi and its Spanish rival Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), which has a train-making factory in Newport. Article continues below GCRE Ltd, which is wholly owned by the Welsh Government but operates at arm's length, has secured £50m from the Cardiff Bay administration and £20m from the UK Government, originally signed off by the former Conservative Westminster administration. This leaves it needing to raise around £330m. Initial fundraising activities, conducted through a public procurement exercise, focused on securing equity investment. While the process was narrowed down to three potential institutional investors, including those in the US and the Middle East, a deal could not be secured. GCRE, under its chief executive Simon Jones, then entered into discussions with a long-term debt provider for the project. While the potential interest rate on the debt was agreeable, the undisclosed institution is now unlikely to enter into a deal. GCRE is back out to market and remains hopeful of securing investment, whether in the form of debt, equity, or a combination. However, there is a realisation that it is highly unlikely a funder(s) would be willing to provide the £330m gap, and it will require the Welsh Government to commit additional capital as well as potentially providing guarantees. While it is not clear what any additional requirement would be, having already committed and spent £50m on the project – which includes the acquisition of the site, running costs for GCRE, and enabling work to date – it would come down to affordability and the risk to reward appetite of ministers. The Welsh Government is already facing competing funding demands in areas like health and education. The project falls under the responsibilities of Cabinet Secretary for Transport Ken Skates. A decision could potentially be left to the next administration following next spring's Senedd election. The UK Government could provide additional finance, but it could also give added confidence to investors and strengthen the business case by ensuring that all train operating companies and rail infrastructure equipment manufacturers utilise the facility. Rail operating franchises, as they expire, are already coming under state control and will sit under the new body, Great British Railways. The £400m cost of the project has been maintained through value engineering. However, inflation is a concern if work on the project does not start soon. New strategy to boost SMEs needs alignment between UK and Welsh governments READ MORE: Wales bucks UK trend with a fall in unemployment READ MORE: An economic assessment by professional advisory firm PwC suggests that over ten years – excluding the planned later phase Sarn Helen Technology Park – GCRE could create 1,100 permanent jobs, with a £300m gross value added (GVA) impact on the local area over and £1.2bn over its lifetime. The project has also been forecast to generate a 15-fold economic return for every £1 invested. GCRE is confident it will be able to put a number of private sector funding options to the Welsh Government following the summer recess. Mr Jones said:'The aim of development work to date has been to de-risk the GCRE project to a point where private investors could be attracted to finance the bulk of construction and, ultimately, take forward a business that could act as a new economic magnet for the region. Our intention is to operate GCRE as a successful business, but it's also an opportunity to show how that can be done creatively, working with government and industry partners in an active way. 'We knew how challenging the task would be. It has never been easy to attract major sources of private investment to northern areas of the South Wales Valleys, and GCRE is a development not without risk. Looking back, our biggest barrier was that we began our search at the very time when the UK's economic headwinds were at their strongest. The last few years have been a challenging time for every major project looking for large-scale capital funding. 'I indicated in January that initial feedback from investors was that, while they applauded the vision and could see the strategic need for such a facility, the construction and early-years commercial revenue risks of GCRE still remained the biggest barriers to commitment. Despite international interest from both the Middle East and the US – from the rail and energy sectors – we still have not secured the funding we need. 'As a result, GCRE has taken longer to move towards the construction phase than we had originally intended. In recent months, that has led to some challenging headlines about the delay to the project and questions about its ultimate viability. There's no hiding from the fact that this isn't where we wanted to be. 'But I also know from my own background in major projects that it's not unusual, particularly for a development as large, complex, and novel as GCRE. One thing I know for sure, though: the prize is worth it. We must find ways to grow the economy in Wales, particularly in de-industrialised areas of the country, and GCRE is still one of the most interesting and creative home-grown ways in which we can do that.' Mr Jones said he remains positive that the project will be realised for a number of reasons. He added:'First and foremost, we are still in discussions with potential investors. Now, with the support of the Welsh Government, we are exploring additional ways to get investment secured, and that work will continue in the coming weeks. This includes looking at ways to further de-risk the capital construction of the project and underpin the early years revenue risk of the facility. 'The UK, like most countries, needs more large sites on which to develop new infrastructure of this kind, and with GCRE located on a site as large as Gibraltar, it's one of the complementary ways in which we can show a strong commercial return on the investments made. 'Third, the economic and social imperative of getting more projects like GCRE to succeed only grows with time. Everyone is heartened to see that work has now begun constructing the new electric arc furnace at Tata in Port Talbot. But there is no escaping the fact that the site will employ fewer people than it did in the past, and that many thousands of jobs could be lost as a result of the transition across the supply chain. The UK Climate Change Committee recently reported that more needs to be done to create alternative forms of employment in the region. 'The UK Government has certainly shown through its new industrial strategy that investment in new, place-based infrastructure is vital not only to kick-start economic growth but to build greater resilience in coalfield communities. Using the green industrial revolution to help give de-industrialised areas a new economic future has never been more vital and an important part of the next few months will be seeing what more the UK Government can do to support the Welsh Government's investment choices at GCRE. Article continues below 'What sustains the team at GCRE is the firm belief that the project is a transformational one—something that will help to rebuild local prosperity in an area of the South Wales coalfield through the creation of new jobs, identity, and pride for this and future generations. The task isn't easy, but we'll keep working flexibly with our partners to achieve that goal.' Mr Jones confirmed that GCRE is also in discussions with a number of data centre and renewable energy firms with a view to potential investment at the site. This would sit alongside the train testing project. If the rail project is abandoned, the whole site would be available for alternative investment. Even if the project secures the required private sector funding through a public–private partnership approach, it could still have implications for the Welsh Government's budget if the ONS continues to deem the business as being part of its accounting framework. This means that whatever amount is raised would be reduced from its block grant. A possible workaround could be reclassifying GCRE as a community interest company.
