The Welsh Government has announced a new "Community Plan" for Caerau and Ely following the riots in May. The plan includes an offer of £100,000 to Cardiff Council and work with a group of residents.
Following the deaths of Harvey Evans and Kyrees Sullivan, social justice minister Jane Hutt met with Mark Drakeford and members of the Caerau and Ely communities and promised "work will be done" to improve outcomes for people in the area. Talking to the Guardian at the time, the First Minister said the riots had followed 13 years of "systematic erosion of the things that sustain community life."
Now, just days after the community banded together to pay tribute at the boys' funeral (which you can read more about here), the Welsh Government has outlined its plans. A new steering group will be established, facilitated by local group Action in Caerau and Ely and drawing its membership from local organisations and residents.
