Alwminiwm Mon
Mae’r newyddion yma’n ofnadwy i’r gweithwyr a’u teuluoedd. Mae o’n siomedig iawn gan ystyried bod trafferthion cytundeb pŵer wedi bod yn amlwg ers 4 mlynedd heb gytundeb. Os ydw i'n cael fy ethol y flwyddyn nesaf, fy mhrif flaenoriaeth bydd i atynnu swyddi sefydlog i Ynys Môn
Anglesey Aluminium
This news is devastating to the workers and their families. It’s especially disappointing considering problems regardinga power deal were highlighted four years ago and no agreement has been reached. If elected next year, I will make it my top priority to bring stable well-paid jobs to Ynys Môn.
Keep the Swimming Pools open!
With the increasing concerns over obesity and general health problems, the swimming pools are essential to the communities of Ynys Mon. They’re also an extremely important part of the schools curriculum. I therefore have no hesitation in saying KEEP THE SWIMMING POOLS open
Cadwch y Pyllau Nofio ar agor!
Gyda’r pryderon cynyddol dros orfwyta a phroblemau iechyd cyffredinol, mae pyllau nofio yn allweddol i gymunedau ar draws Ynys Mon. Maen nhw hefyd yn bwysig iawn yn gwricwlwm yr ysgolion lleol. Nid oes gennyf amheuaeth i ddweud CADWCH Y PYLLAU NOFIO AR AGOR!

The real feelings of Labour AM's towards Wylfa
A story that doesn't seem to have caught the headlines has been Jane Davidson's support for a full public enquiry into the new generation of nuclear reactors. I've read the BBC website a few times over the last few days and there is no sign of the story. This is surprising and a little troubling because Wylfa B would be a massive boost to the Island's economy.
The views of Plaid Cymru and Labour AM's in the National Assembly has always concerned me- their barely disguised opposition hovers permanently under the surface. The fact that they have not really said anything over the past few years is surprising. Jane Davidson has come out with her true feelings. Below I'm posting the press release I'm hoping that the papers will pick up over the next few days:
Ynys Môn Conservative Candidate calls for clarification from WAG on Wylfa B
Following Welsh Environment Minister, Jane Davidson’s demand for a public inquiry into a new generation of reactors, Welsh Conservative candidate for Ynys Môn, Trefor Jones has called for clarification of the Welsh Assembly Government’s policy towards nuclear power.
Jones said:
“With the recent news about Anglesey Aluminium closing resulting in job losses, the importance of Wylfa B to the Island’s economy cannot be understated. I’ve been worried for some time about the Labour/ Plaid coalition’s negative attitude towards Wylfa B and Jane Davidson has given voice to it.”
The Government are aiming for the first of the new generation of nuclear power stations’ to be operational by 2018.
Jones goes on to say:
“It is essential that all safety concerns are fully addressed by specialists in the field. However, strong consideration needs to be made to keeping the skilled workforce at Wylfa and that means an effective planning and building process free from delays. It’s time for the Welsh Assembly Government to put the needs of the Ynys Mon economy first.”

NHS
A lot of comment has been passed today on Daniel Hannan's comments on the NHS. I want to be clear- my commitment to the NHS is total- it's a fine institution and I will fight hard to ensure that services are improved on Ynys Mon.
Every Conservative candidate and elected member I have talked to believes in the NHS but they also believe strongly that there are improvements to be made- that is the challenge we face is to ensure that we have a fit NHS for the 21st Century.

Macmillan
A few months ago I was asked to become a member of the Ynys Mon Committee of Macmillan Cancer Support. They managed to raise a significant sum of money last year and as opposed to resting on their laurels, they wanted raise more money if they are able.
Joining the committee was a very personal choice for me. Having seen both friends and family suffering from the terrible effects of cancer in the past few years, it was time for me to use what little profile an influence that I have and help to raise some money myself. There are so many worthwhile charities in this field and others but having been asked to join Macmillan, I was only to pleased to help.
It's been a good start to the fundraising year. We have been in a few carnivals etc with a stand. In the next couple of months we have some really good events coming up. On August 1st we have a sponsored walk between Holyhead and Amlwch. On August Bank Holiday we have a golf tournament and their many other events to follow. One significant event this year is the production of a CD highlighting the talents of some talented young people in Amlwch, the very best agreement- helping young people in their ambitions and raising money for a worthwhile charity.
