The cost of living crisis has affected millions of us around wales and the rest of the uk, and both the Welsh and uk government have put measures in place to help. Welsh secretary David TC Davies recently said that some people had been missed by that help, leaving too many people struggling. We ask the people of Cardiff whether they think enough has been done.

00:00I think he has hit the nail on the head in terms of not enough help has been done.
00:07Like I said, is it going in the right direction?
00:10But it's nowhere near what needs to be done to make an impact.
00:14There needs to be a lot more focus on the things that actually matter.
00:20Yeah, especially some parts of the world, yes.
00:24Yeah, I do.
00:27You know, Cardiff, but not Cardiff.
00:30Where I come from, for instance, it's terrible down there.
00:33Llanelli?
00:35I think that's a fair take.
00:37I think they should be concentrating more on families
00:44which can't afford to do things at the moment.
00:47They could start giving family sort of payment grants
00:54just to help them through, you know what I mean?
00:56I feel like there has been a push towards the right direction.
01:00There's still a lot of work to be done, but obviously Rome wasn't built in a day.
01:05I feel like for big changes to be made, we need to make big sacrifices
01:10which people won't like in this current moment,
01:13but say down the line, five, ten years.
01:16Perhaps more direct help from the government
01:18for the people who are struggling, who are the least well off.
01:21I'm fortunate to be in a good position myself,
01:23but certainly I think more can be done perhaps by the local government
01:26and central government to help those who are really, really suffering
01:29and the very poor families who are faced with poverty as well.
01:32It's a big thing.
01:34I think it's a big underlining thing which is happening all over the country,
01:38never mind in Wales,
01:40but hopefully moving forward with a general election,
01:46whoever gets in, Conservative or Labour,
01:50even in the Welsh government, Labour government, what have you,
01:54they sort that out because families are struggling.
