Toll roads, council houses and tax hikes

We've got some strong stories in this week's edition which we have been drip-feeding on the world wide web all week, but you can read their full versions in Thursday's print edition.
We've got plenty of exclusive stories, from the legislative loophole which would allow the Welsh Assembly to introduce tolls on the A55 and A470, to the possibility that Conwy County Council may withdraw its £300,000 funding to the Urdd National Eisteddfod, which next year will be held in Penrhyn Bay.

Even being in a job where you hear about terrible things happening in the world almost on a daily basis, sometimes stories still have the power to shock a journalist.

I came, I saw, I conquered... just! In just over a year at the Weekly News I have reported on a countless number of mountain rescue operations by the amazing Ogwen Valley and Llanberis mountain rescue volunteer teams.
These rescues have been wide-ranging, including underwater search operations, lost dog rescues and daring helicopter air-lifts, and have involved everyone from experienced climbers to family day trippers, who have all got into some level of trouble and needed assistance. Unfortunately these rescues have also included four fatalities.
