You can't deny progress when you see physical expressions of Labour's new investment. My old friends on Caernarfon Online have now identified a number of projects, many funded in full or part by Labour investment, which are now progressing around Caernarfon.
To this list we can add the work on Communities First projects in Maes Barcer, the new school for Ysgol Pendalar and in spite of current funding pressures extra Community Support Officers and Community Beat Officers in the town. We have the ongoing restoration of the Welsh Highland Light Railway and exciting events like Merlin's Magical Quest - son et luminere.
Lots more to do, but we can see the renewal of our town under Labour's proactive policies.

What exactly is "Labour investment"?
You seem to be taking all the credit for any projects that being implemented in town & heaping all the blame on others if such projects are lacking.
The blog is rapidly becoming a case study in hypocrisy & New Labour spinning.
What I mean is all the additional public spending that Labour has been able to provide through good economic management (Brown) and Assembly social and economic priorities. Local decisions require that investment framework -that is what I mean by "Labour investment".
It is a pity that other potential investment like Social Housing Grant for affordable homes or expansion at Pwllheli marina has been missed.
I see.
So when money is forthcoming for something or other we can thank Gordon Brown & the Cardiff Bay administration for it.
By the same logic I suppose we can blame both when money isn't forthcoming for something or other or when so called efficiency cuts have be made.
Public spending will never involve a blank cheque book, and priorities always have to be decided. That's just normal politics.
However the record shows the increase in public spending since 1999 and we have to learn to make efficiency savings - I even have to accept that as public sector/local government employee.
For example Gwynedd Council set themselves, but failed to reach efficiency targets. That is not Brown/Essex's fault but their own. That is where the balance in funding responsibilities shows.
