Party of Wales Gwynedd Councillors' Group

With winter well and truly here, Plaid Cymru Councillors in rural Gwynedd are delighted that grit will be distributed free of charge to the county's yellow bins this winter. Following discussions with the cabinet member who has responsibility for highways, Plaid Cymru Councillor, Catrin Wager, there was concern in rural areas that the cost of filling the large grit bins was adding to growing pressure on community and town councils:

With over 2000 people signing a petition calling on the Welsh Government to reconsider their decision to withdraw the Llanbedr bypass scheme, the Councillor, Annwen Hughes (pictured) who set up the petition is thanking people for their support and asking them to continue to express their dissatisfaction with the decision.

A Meirionnydd farmer and Councillor has gained the unanimous support of Gwynedd councillors today (2 December, full Gwynedd Council meeting) to press the Welsh Government to change the guidelines of agricultural funding schemes to ensure that taxpayers' public money does not leave Wales, as companies try to tackle their carbon footprint.
