Decision Maker: The Council

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: July 3, 2025

Purpose:

Content: Following the revelation that improvements to the Oxford to Cambridge railway line have been changed from an England only scheme to an England and Wales scheme, and also in the wake of the paltry sum announced in the Westminster Government's spending review of £450m over 10 years, Cyngor Gwynedd is calling on the Welsh Government to demand that the entire Wales Rail Network is devolved to Wales as a matter of urgency. This Council is of the view that Gwynedd and Wales are missing out significantly on investment due to being tied to England on these issues.  We believe that Wales should have the same rights as Scotland and Northern Ireland.
