Accuracy of news

The BBC report on the funding of Healthy Living Centres and use the example of Maesgeirchen in Bangor where the HLC is making a difficult transition from lottery to mainstream funding. The centre is in Bangor.

However why this should be described by the BBC as near Caernarfon leads one to question how accurate reporting can sometimes be. Is it the case that everywhere will not to be mentioned directly, but simply by reference to being near somewhere else down the road ?.

In addition we do face some difficult questions over the coming years as a number of lottery and European funded projects that have been put in place will come to the end of their grant period, and we must all hope that funding viability has been acheived.
