Llanbedr airfield
In a time when rural Jobs are at a premium, we need to do all we can to help develop sustainable industries, especially in rural Wales, the airport plans at Llanbedr could prove to be a vital ingredient in ensuring we continue to have and build upon the thriving and sustainable community within Snowdonia National Park.
It is important that National Parks are breathing; living areas and they need to sustain jobs and local people.
While I really am a big fan of fresh new ideas and any projects which will bring investment into rural Wales we must ensure that the development is sustainable and consistent with the objects of the National Park.
I called on the Assembly Sustainable Development Minister, Jane Davidson, to provide an assurance that she complied with her statutory obligations in allowing the commercial development of the former RAF station at Llanbedr.
I am keen to work to allay the fears of those concerned with the proposed development of Llanbedr airfield and look forward to this project taking off!
