Party of Wales Gwynedd Councillors' Group

Three Plaid Cymru Councillors share their thoughts on the news that two Wales Air Ambulance bases are to be closed.

Plaid Cymru Gwynedd Councillor, Llio Elenid Owen, Y Groeslon Ward representative said: "The news today regarding the closure of Dinas Dinlle, Caernarfon’s Wales Air Ambulance service is bitterly disappointing and completely heart wrenching.

The whole community has worked tirelessly to convey the importance of this crucial service in my Ward which serves the whole of Gwynedd. We will lose a valuable resource, jobs and expertise from the area. Today is a tragic day for this community, for the surrounding area and for Gwynedd as a whole."

For the first time in history, two thirds of councillors in a Welsh local authority now belong to a Plaid Cymru Group.

Gwynedd Council’s Plaid Cymru group is delighted to welcome an independent Meirionnydd councillor to join the councillors political group.

Over 200 people attended the public meeting at Neuadd y Pentref in Ganllwyd, Meirionnydd to show their support to the UK's first purpose-built mountain bike centre.

Coed y Brenin visitor centre in Ganllwyd near Dolgellau opened in 1996 and concerns had been raised that Natural Resource Wales (NRW) was currently reviewing the future of the site and two other visitor centres across north and mid Wales.

A Gwynedd Councillor tired of waiting for the Welsh Government to plug the bus service gap in his community, has decided to walk the 30 mile journey bus route, exactly one year since the last bus service came to an end.

A public meeting has been arranged calling on local people in the Meirionnydd area and further afield to show their support to the UK's first purpose-built mountain bike centre.

Coed y Brenin visitor centre in Ganllwyd near Dolgellau opened in 1996 and has since long established itself as a fantastic base, providing services to help local people and visitors make the most of their time enjoying the huge network of world-class mountain bike trails located in the forest.

During the full council today (Thursday, 7 December), Councillor for Llanwnda Ward, Huw Rowlands (pictured) raised concerns about the delaying of housing developments in Gwynedd due to concerns about water quality in Afon Gwyrfai.

A Plaid Cymru Councillor from Pwllheli wants to see Gwynedd Council set a precedent and make a clear statement during a time of war that Gwynedd is a place that upholds peace, respect and support.

Councillor Elin Hywel will present a notice of motion at Gwynedd’s full council meeting (Thursday 7 December) calling for the support of all councillors: “The point of this proposal is clear - total condemnation of violent and war like activity against civilians.

Following water quality problems at Penllyn rivers, the long-awaited news that Welsh Water is to start investment at Y Bala’s waste treatment site, this month, is to be welcomed.

Some of Gwynedd's food banks will offer more than just nutrition to vulnerable families during November. Thanks to the Books Council of Wales’ schools Love Reading scheme, some of the county's food banks will be giving free books to children with the families’ food packages.

At a special meeting of Plaid Cymru Gwynedd’s cabinet today, an urgent agenda item was presented for elected members to consider supporting families facing challenges during the summer holidays.
