Wylfa Nuclear Announcement - Jobs Must go to Local People

Responding to the announcement that a small modular reactor will be built at Wylfa, on Ynys Mon, Welsh Liberal Democrat Westminster Spokesperson David Chadwick MP said:

“I welcome any moves to improve our energy security, but this must translate into real jobs for local people, not outside contractors flown in for a few years.

"The focus should be on training, apprenticeships, and long-term opportunities that strengthen communities.

"Wales has the natural resources to lead a green energy revolution through tidal energy and offshore wind, but we need to see this same level of investment extended to projects like the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon.”
