A SURVEY on the best locations for electric car charging points in Gwynedd has been launched. Gwynedd Council is asking residents about the locations where they feel the charging points should be located as it plans to install a number of stations across the county. Cllr Gareth Griffith, Gwynedd Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “Gwynedd Council wants to make it easier for residents to change from petrol and diesel vehicles by providing more electric car charging points through-out the county. “As a council, we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by 47 per cent since 2006. This exciting development of installing charging points builds on this positive work and is an important step towards our commitment to tackling climate change.

Protests have taken place against second homes in Gwynedd Gwynedd Council is planning a “three pronged attack” on the Welsh Government’s “lack of appetite” in helping tackle the housing crisis facing parts of rural west Wales. A new council commissioned research paper has recommended measures that would require changes to national planning and taxation legislation, but have been described as long overdue due to spiralling house prices in many areas of Gwynedd. Finding that almost 60% of local people are currently priced out of the housing market – with 6,849 or 10.77% of the country’s entire housing stock now being designated as second homes – among the earmarked measures to tackle the issue are a licensing system for short-term holiday accommodation such as AirBnBs.
