A watershed day for Llandudno Hospital

Posted by North Wales Weekly News team on February 27, 2008 3:05 PM

IT'S been a busy day on the newsdesk today following health minister Edwina Hart's surprise announcement about Llandudno Hospital. I'm sure Mrs Hart would like us to concentrate on the many positives in her Senedd speech this afternoon - and I'm not detracting at all from the fact there's plenty of encouraging news - but I'm also acutely aware that we're not to be distracted from the main issue either.

Gordon Brown was in town for the Welsh Labour Party Conference at Venue Cymru last Friday. As a reporter on a weekly newspaper it's not every day I get the chance to interview people of the stature of the Prime Minister, so I thought I'd burden you with my reflection a week on.

More often in my job I spend my days dealing with politicians varying from local MPs and AMs, to county, town and community councillors, as well as the odd B to Z-list celeb thrown in, usually plugging their latest show at Llandudno's same venue.

What is given with one hand, is taken with the other - so the saying goes. That is exactly how I felt writing this week's news stories for the Conwy Valley.

On the one hand I was pleased to report that the administrators for Dolgarrog Aluminium had, at last, secured a buyer from Russia for the ailing aluminium plant. Although it does not directly safeguard the workers' jobs it does offer some hope to people in the surrounding community that the factory may once again produce aluminium.
