Taking flight
Welsh Liberal Democrats yesterday voted to remove subsidies from Ieuan Air, the new Welsh Assembly sponsored air service between Cardiff and Yny Mon.
This service has been criticised because of its cost, the damage it will cause to our environment and the fact that it is so inaccessible that practically the only person who could take regular advantage of it is the Assembly Member for Anglesey.
As our Ceredigion candidate, John Davies, said: “Why are we spending money on an air service when our train service is in dire straits across the whole of Wales?”
