[MrFenner]

So this is their new marketing moguls idea of “marketing”?!

Jesus wept.

It’s not primary school!

Does anyone know the result of the Manor Farm planning application, to build aviation related companies on Legal and General land near the airport. I have tried to find the result on the Vale of Glamorgan website but have been unsuccessful.

Thanks Jerry,

Looking at the news David TC Davies has been appointed secretary of state for Wales yesterday, I can't help but remember when as chair of the Wales affairs committee, he unequivocally supported devolution of APD to Wales. Calling it "good for all of wales" and that the Welsh office "exists to serve the people of Wales, not Bristol".
Could be interesting to see, assuming he lasts long enough in post for it to be seen to.

I'd be very shocked if it APD was devolved even with a Welsh Secretary that is in favour of it. I doubt the Treasury is in favour and the current last lot of UK governments haven't been devolution friendly so are unlikely to devolve any more new powers to the Welsh government and considering the current Welsh government i wouldn't be surprised if in private they're probably happy that APD isn't devolved as it would give them a dilemna with the climate change emergency and all that and i don't expect a UK Labour government to devolve it either.

 

[Nuffsaid]

CWL is attending this years Routes event. Let’s hope they come back with something positive.
