Resignation of EDF’s Chief Finance Officer this week has not altered the Government’s position. The Government remain fully committed and confident that Hinkley Point C will go ahead. Hope that by the next meeting, FID will have been reached. Reset Speech Secretary of State’s Reset Speech in November 2015 set out the new direction for UK policy. She set out her priorities for 3 energy types: Nuclear, Offshore Wind and Gas. Welsh Affairs Select Committee UK Government submitted their submission. As you would expect, it was very supportive of Nuclear in Wales. Minister Andrea Leadsom, who leads on Nuclear portfolio, will appear before the Committee – date to be confirmed. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) Exciting area of work and much progress being made in developing policy advice. The Techno-Economic Study is still on track to deliver its final conclusions at the end of March. An announcement around next steps is expected in due course. National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) NIC currently carrying out a consultation (until 17th March) – https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/ 489952/National_infrastructure_commission_jan_16_web_final.pdf Document makes reference to the NIC working with lead government departments to prevent delays to long lead time projects (such as nuclear) which demonstrates that the NIC understands the special nature of these projects and the need for market and investor confidence many years in advance. The extent to which the commission considers area of infrastructure in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where responsibility is devolved, will be a decision for the devolved administrations to make. From the document, understand the commission proposes to work closely and collaboratively with the devolved administrations in a spirit of openness and transparency, and will need to consider cross-border issues where these affect infrastructure decisions over which the UK government has authority. Also from the document, understand the proposal is that it should therefore be part of the commission’s duties to consider all areas of infrastructure that involve input from the UK Government, even where these cross borders. Supply Chain Good work in progress around developing good UK supply chain capability. Continuing to look at how DECC can maximise UK content in supply chain ensuring opportunities opened for UK, particularly local companies. (SF Minutes 09-03-2016) Page 3 of 9 SWYDDOGOL / OFFICIAL Number of different ways DECC are taking this forward: Regeneration of UK nuclear manufacturing capability through the Nuclear Advance Research Manufacturing Centre, or NAMRC, located in Sheffield; Work with the Nuclear Industry Council on a coordinated strategy; and UKTI’s support for businesses to grow their export capability. Working with industry in particular to develop a ‘Demand Model’ that aims to match opportunities in nuclear with UK capability. Government funding for many existing initiatives, such as Fit 4 Nuclear and Civil Nuclear Sharing in Growth have been cut. Working closely with NAMRC to find sustainable commercial funding models for initiatives. WG funding 20 companies under the initiatives until March 2017. Skills Continue to focus on building skills. Keen for nuclear to seek to fill the skills gas predicted over next 5 years by looking to declining sectors such as oil and gas, and steel. There are a number of generic Tier-1 skills that can be adopted by the nuclear sector. Looking to ‘nuclearise’ these skills thus allowing them to develop to Tier-2, nuclear specific construction and engineering skills. Based on consultation responses from, DECC and the Nuclear Industry Association have agreed reforms to the Nuclear Industry Council, the coordinating body for the work of industry and Government across the sector. The new council will be streamlined and as a result, more capable of taking the strategic decisions to drive forward work in these areas. The Nuclear Skills Strategic Group has been formed and will sit under the reformed Nuclear Industry Council. Intention that it will become the strategic skills forum for the sector, and that it will allow industry to take ownership of the UK skills challenge. It is still developing its work programme; however, we expect it to build on past work in this area – including the detailed forecasts of future skills demands across the sector. National College for Nuclear (NCfN) – BIS have concluded their Due Dilligence process

These wrecks date from 1590 to 1993 and very few have been investigated in any depth! With corona virus currently requiring us all to rethink the way we live, on-line research would appear to be something we could all safely consider taking on.

  • Here We Go Again... and They’Re Off! After What Seems No Time at All, Public Services Resume This Weekend for February Half Term
    February 2016 InsideNews and information for staff, volunteers and supportersMotion of the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Here we go again... And they’re off! After what seems no time at all, public services resume this weekend for February half term. Trains will run from Porthmadog to Beddgelert and Rhyd Ddu, leaving Port at 1010 and 1335 - yes, you read that correctly, we’re running an FR headline timetable, but on the Welsh Highland, to give our permanent way team the time needed to complete the extensive winter track renewal programme on the Ffestiniog. These trains will continue to run on Saturdays, Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until the start of a full service on both lines on March 19th. And with the amount of rainfall we’ve had, the rivers are at their best, especially in the Aberglaslyn Pass, so it’s a great time for a trip - make sure you tell all your friends! At the time of writing, the Welsh Highland is having a brand new point installed at Pont Croesor (more details inside). There can’t be many railways that have the confidence to start such a task just ten days before the start of public services, but then there aren’t many railways like the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland... This newsletter is distributed to those who request it by email and is also accessible from the main website at www.festrail.co.uk along with previous issues. Diary and event information is also available online. To be added to the email distribution list, please fill in the form at http://tinyurl.com/pmjl6ue All contributions, details of group meetings etc to [email protected] Pont Croesor upgraded As part of the Winter Works Programme, the point at the Caernarfon end of Pont Croesor is being replaced - just a week before the start of February half-term services.

  • 1St December 2020 Open Letter Sent by the North Wales Mersey Dee Business Council on Behalf of the Below Listed Organisations CO
    NWMD Business Council C/O 8 The Paddock Prestatyn, Denbighshire LL19 8NB [email protected] 1st December 2020 Open letter sent by the North Wales Mersey Dee Business Council On behalf of the below listed organisations COVID-19 restrictions in North Wales – Impact on Tourism, Hospitality, Leisure and Supply Chains Dear First Minister, We write to you regarding the new COVID-19 restrictions coming into force this Friday 4th Dec across Wales and their negative impact in North Wales on Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure businesses and their Supply Chains. Three areas of note that we need to bring to your attention: 1. Evidence for imposing these further restrictions on North Wales – We understand the Public Health need to impose restrictions on Citizens and Businesses in order to minimise the health impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to tighten or relax those restrictions dependent on the situation and the evidence to support those choices. Following local lockdown restrictions imposed on 4 counties in the North which immediately led into National Firebreak restrictions and then recently the new all Wales restrictions, the rate of positive tests/cases per 100,000 people across North Wales has reduced. The measures put in place by Welsh Government are working and all the most recent publicly accessible data directly shows that. We are not seeing increases in the low level infections areas e.g. Conwy, Anglesey, Gwynedd and in the high instance areas we are seeing reductions e.g. Wrexham. The North Wales Mersey Dee Business Council Ltd is the umbrella body for the private sector in the North Wales Mersey Dee region, representing it with regional stakeholders and national governments.

  • October 2018
    October 2018 The averaging period used for the following assessment was 1981-2010. October began with high pressure over the south, but a westerly flow affected central and northern areas, bringing relatively changeable weather to much of Scotland. The second week was unseasonably warm due to southerly winds, and many areas were also sunny on the 9th and 10th, but Storm Callum brought wet and windy weather to most parts on the 12th, particularly over the high ground of south Wales. Aer a relatively settled spell with high pressure oen close to the south, a northerly outbreak on the 26th and 27th resulted in a very cold end to the month, with wintry showers on high ground and also locally to low levels on the 27th. The provisional UK mean temperature was 9.6 °C, which is 0.1 °C above the 1981-2010 long-term average. For most regions, mean maximum temperatures were a little above average and mean minimum temperatures were a little below average, reflecting the relatively high frequency of clear skies. Rainfall was below normal in many areas, although north-west Scotland was wetter; it was not exceptionally dry, with 82% of average rainfall overall. For the UK as a whole this was the fih sunniest October in a series from 1929, with 122% of average sunshine, and for East Anglia it was the joint sunniest October in the series (alongside 1959). The UK monthly extremes were as follows: A maximum temperature of 26.5 °C was recorded at Donna Nook (Lincolnshire) on the 13th. A minimum temperature of -8.6 °C was recorded at St Harmon (Powys) on the 30th.
