Neath Port Talbot to look at making St David's Day a 'bank holiday'

Neath Port Talbot Council has agreed to create a report that will look into the potential of making St David's Day a holiday for council staff of the county.

This comes after Gwynedd council granted its workers a day off to celebrate St David's Day. Despite the UK Government rejecting the plans for a national bank holiday, the move was granted at a cabinet meeting in January.

Councillor Jamie Evans of Plaid Cymru revealed on Twitter on Wednesday that he would be asking the council "to follow the lead" of Gwynedd in making March 1 a "bank holiday" for council staff.
