Welcome to my fourth annual report. It is a privilege to be your Member of Parliament and to truly be the voice of Ynys Môn in Westminster.
That is why I commit each year to deliver my annual report to every home across the island so that I am accountable to you, the people of Ynys Môn.
I am working hard to deliver for our island. After four years of campaigning to bring new nuclear to Wylfa I was delighted that the Chancellor used the budget to announce that Great British Nuclear is purchasing the Wylfa site from Hitachi on behalf of the UK Government.
We are seeing excellent progress on our other major projects including the clearing of the old Anglesey Aluminium site to make way for Anglesey Freeport’s Prosperity Parc and the repurposing of the old Newry Shelters as part of the £17m Holyhead Levelling Up programme.
There have been new exciting investments from the UK Government ranging from £98,000 for grassroots sports facilities in Bodedern, Holyhead, Llangefni and Tŷ Croes to £800m for improvements at RAF Valley.
Through my ‘Local Jobs for Local People’ campaign I am asking every business investing here to prioritise local people for jobs on Anglesey and work with local training providers to help skill up our workforce.
I continue to take every opportunity to raise the profile of Ynys Môn in Westminster and to fight to bring well-paid jobs and investment here. That is how I can ensure that our young people can work locally, stay in their communities, buy homes, raise their families here and keep our Welsh language and culture alive.
I do hope you enjoy my latest Annual Report and I welcome your feedback.
