To receive the following Notice of Motion by Councillor Llinos Medi:-

“Anglesey County Council call on the Welsh Government to hold an urgent review into the resilience of the link between Anglesey and the mainland. The situation in Anglesey is unique to any other area in Wales as there are only two links, not only to arrive at the busiest port in the UK, but so that residents of the island can live their lives from day to day. There is a need to ensure that the residents of the island can gain access to work, education and emergency services. Also, there is a need to ensure an economic connection to the island from a tourist perspective as well as the Freeport application. The economic future and the welfare of Anglesey residents is dependent on this link.”
