Having been away in Ireland at the beginning of the week, I am just catching up with the news from around the country.
In particular, I was struck by the news from Anglesey that a bid is to be made for millions of pounds in extra funding to rebuild Anglesey’s battered economy.
According to the last Wednesday's Daily Post,
"the council is preparing a bid to the Welsh Assembly Government for the island to be treated as a special case - requiring additional funding to overcome its problems".
About time too, as my regular column for the Daily Post pointed out on Monday 14th September (and which was published here three days later),
"the island is the poorest county in the whole of the UK and given such an exceptional situation, there needs to be an exceptional approach".
Those living on Ynys Mon can only hope that the Assembly will now listen and provide the resources needed to make a difference in tthe poorest county in the whole of the UK.
