PLAID Cymru’s leader has called for “immediate action” on a third Menai crossing as the UK Government confirmed Wylfa as the site for a new nuclear power station.

Warning of previous false dawns on Anglesey, Rhun ap Iorwerth said infrastructure and a local voice in steering the project must be immediate priorities.

The Ynys Môn Senedd member said before the official announcement was made: “If this statement is made tomorrow, as we're expecting, there are a number of things that we need to raise immediately.

“One is to ensure that we have a voice in steering this development.”

Mr ap Iorwerth reiterated calls for a third Menai crossing which was cancelled in 2023, partly due to the previous Wylfa Newydd plans being paused.
