Although this might be a welcome change of rhetoric from Welsh Labour it is still only if and buts and not a firm commitment for a desperately needed third Menai crossing that I have been campaigning for.
I am happy to meet with Mr Skates to hear whether he is serious, and what are the next steps.
For example, talk of addressing the climate emergency and good design is great but what does it mean when it comes to timescales and spades in the ground?
If it requires money, then I would do all in my power to see if the UK government can help. As everyone knows, I will work with anyone for the good of Ynys Môn.
But right now, nothing has changed here. We need a third crossing and there isn’t one even on the horizon.
All I can say with confidence is it appears there might be a change of heart in Cardiff. Scraps of comfort for Anglesey but better than the outright third crossing ban of last year.
