Banning meal deals, cutting bus services, charging people to drive their cars on trunk roads, taxing people to visit Wales, increasing the number of politicians in the Senedd – these are the current priorities of the Labour Government in Cardiff, and all of them will adversely impact on people’s lives in North Wales.
It is no wonder that people in our region feel so remote from those who seek to micro-manage them on the Welsh Government benches in the Senedd.
I want to see a situation where setting up shop and opening a business in North Wales is viewed as an unmissable opportunity but we can only get there by fixing the basics, such as improving health and education outcomes, upgrading our transport infrastructure and investing in our undervalued communities.
