Big Opportunity - Big responsibility

At the foot of Snowdon, in the Arfon constituency, there is the opportunity to develop a major mixed use leisure development in a former slate quarry. Plaid Cymru lead Gwynedd Council has marketed the site, invited expressions of interest and are now evaluating two key options.

One of the projects provides a big opportunity for a major injection of private capital, with the chance to put the area on the international map. It could help transform the economy of the area with a wide range of job opportunities.

Will this opportunity be grasped ?

I hope so - but I also fear the echoes of the same Council when it ran scared of big decisions like they did over Pwllheli marina.

It is a big opportunity and carries a big responsibility. They often lecture us on the economic problems of North West Wales.

Are Plaid Cymru up to the task ?
