Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon Statement

Responding to the news that the Conservative UK Government have decided to pull the plug on the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon, Rebecca Evans, Assembly Member for Gower, said: 

“First they cancelled the electrification of the rail line to Swansea, and now this. 

“The Tory Government in Westminster has shown an appalling lack of vision and ambition for our area, and an unyielding unwillingness to invest in projects that would bring us prosperity. 

“They had the chance to put us at the forefront of a new global industry, creating skilled jobs and boosting tourism, but instead they have failed us once again.”
