Spending review: Welsh small businesses 'feel no benefits'
"It was not the business-focused day they had hoped for."
She highlighted the lack of support for small businesses in various spending allocations, including statutory sick pay, housing, defence and energy efficiency funding.
However, she acknowledged the 'significant increase in resources' for the British Business Bank as a 'major bright spot'.
She urged government departments to be strategic with their spending over the next three years.
FSB Wales Chair, John Hurst, said: "Small businesses in Wales continue to face relentless pressure from rising employment costs, ongoing changes to employment legislation, and sustained high energy bills."
He called on the Welsh Government to use the local growth funding from the Spending Review to bolster the business support system and foster a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Aberdeen mother-daughter duo blossom into success with flower shop
An Aberdeen mother-and-daughter duo have been turning petals into profit for 20 years. Susan Stevenson and daughter Emma run Flowerscene in Bucksburn, buying, designing and creating their own style. The pair craft together in order to keep their flowers stock fresh and long lasting, with customers expecting a high quality product. Susan answered our questions on her biggest struggles, achievements and more. As bench-trained florists, my daughter Emma and I took over an existing business in 2005. This gave us an opportunity to buy, design and create our own style of floristry, stocking a wide variety of blooms and foliage at Flowerscene in Aberdeen. We purchase good quality flowers and foliage. Our customers expect it. To keep our stock fresh and long lasting, we take meticulous care of our vases and water, knowing exactly what each variety benefits from. By putting as much effort into every piece that leaves our shop – large or small – we know our customers are getting the best we can do for them at all times. We've built this business up by our own hard work and desire to learn and adapt to changing ideas about our ever-evolving industry. We're members of The Good Florist Guide, which is a peer-appointing membership. Fellow florists are a great help, and we support one another especially during difficult or trying times. We work long, often unsociable hours, so the support and understanding we receive from our families is always welcomed. We're also members of the Federation of Small Businesses, with access to many resources and tools which save us time and money. We received incredible advice from our suppliers, growers, and fellow florists. Emma is especially interested in knowing the science and background of all the flowers we stock. Different blooms and foliage may require different treatments, and by applying this knowledge to our stock we maintain their vase life and can pass on our knowledge to our customers. Initially, overstaffing was a big mistake, as was employing the wrong person for certain roles. It's a hard lesson but one we won't make again. Working as a team and seeing Emma blossom from a junior florist to a talented, creative designer. She's entered competitions at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, both as a junior and senior entrant, and as a demonstrator. Emma has achieved so much over the years. I'm always in the background with annoying bits of advice or pointing out where a flower head should be. My advice is not always welcomed, but we're a great team. We've survived many challenges that all small businesses have encountered, and we continue to provide the same high quality and expert advice to our customers. Our aim is to continue flourishing for many years to come.

Hundreds of Welsh high rises requiring fire safety works still awaiting planning decisions
Hundreds of Welsh high rises requiring fire safety works still awaiting planning decisions The Welsh Government's latest update on work to rectify high rise buildings affected by fire safety issues shows that 47% are awaiting planning decisions A number of high rises across Wales needing fire safety work are still awaiting planning decisions (Image: steved_np3/Getty) Hundreds of high-rise buildings which need to be made fire safe in Wales are still awaiting planning decisions. The Welsh Government's latest update on its building safety programme, published in July, shows that of the 461 buildings in it, 43% have either been completed or have works ongoing on them. It also shows 47% of the buildings are 'in the planning stages', with the remaining 10% either not requiring works or remediation needs are yet to be identified. The Welsh Government's cabinet secretary for housing and local government, Jayne Bryant, said in the latest building safety programme update that she met with developers to discuss their progress and performance. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . Ms Bryant also said she was pleased to introduce the Welsh Government's Building Safety (Wales) Bill to the Senedd in July, which aims to clearly establish who is responsible for fixing high-rise buildings with fire defects. However, the Local Democracy Reporting Service understands campaigners at a recent meeting with the cabinet minister remained critical of the lack of progress being made to remediate peoples' homes. All large developers in Wales have signed a Welsh Government building safety pact requiring them to make all buildings of 11m or more in height fire-safe. Article continues below The building safety pact was established after the Grenfell fire of 2017 and aims to avoid a repeat of the disaster. Nearly three years on from the establishment of the pact, residents and politicians continue their calls for pressure to be put on developers. In Cardiff, where most of these buildings are located, councillors voted in favour of a motion in February calling on the Welsh Government to be firmer with private developers and make sure work progresses without delay. Presenting her motion at the time, Labour councillor for Butetown, Cllr Helen Gunter, said she had heard examples of families who were 'trapped' in apartments they couldn't sell. She added: 'Another example of elderly residents who have felt the need to move out of their building while awaiting remediation work because they worry and have anxiety about their ability to leave the building quickly in the event of an emergency. 'They have no idea of timescales so can't rent out and don't want to sell the home they love but as a consequence have fallen into the category for increased council tax bills.' High-rise building safety campaigners in Wales also want developers to be made responsible for more than just fire safety defects. Some high-rise complexes, like Celestia in Cardiff, have a number of other issues like algae, damp and rendering coming off the side of buildings. People living in affected flats have been fighting for years to get developers to pay for these works. Article continues below

Gwynedd Homebuy scheme boosts local housing market
"It's also important that we review our housing plans constantly to ensure that the criteria reflect the true situation for the people of Gwynedd.
