Cllr. Ed Bridges, who has represented Gabalfa & Mynachdy for the Liberal Democrats since 2004, has announced his intention to step down at the next local elections.

Cardiff’s Liberal Democrats have hit out at Labour-run Cardiff Council following yet another fall in the local authority’s recycling rates.

Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams joined local candidates to launch her party’s general election manifesto for Cardiff.

Ed Miliband and the Labour party are a threat to the economic recovery, Jenny Willott MP has argued today.  She has also accused Ed Miliband of talking down a Cardiff City Deal.

Jenny Willott, the Liberal Democrat MP for Cardiff Central, has welcomed the first steps towards the delivery of full-scale tidal lagoon infrastructure in the UK with the submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment scoping report for a tidal lagoon between Cardiff and Newport.

The Tidal Lagoon in Cardiff could power all Welsh homes for 120 years and would be the UK’s first full-scale tidal lagoon power plant. The lagoon would generate power for approximately 14 hours each day and could be powered on in 2022.

An Environment Impact Assessment scoping document seeks comment on all of the survey work proposed to support an eventual robust planning application for a Nationally Significant Infrastructure project.  

Tidal Lagoon Power Limited expects to submit a full planning application for Tidal Lagoon Cardiff in 2017, with a decision then expected in 2018. The lagoon will take up to five years to build.

Commenting, Jenny Willott MP, said:

“This is an exciting proposal that would make use of Cardiff’s natural resources and allow us to generate electricity in a more affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly way. It is still early days but I welcome today’s news and look forward to hearing about further developments.”    

The shambles seen at tonight's Cardiff Council budget meeting is “a missed opportunity” to save key services and limit council tax increases, the Cardiff Lib Dems have said.

Animal protection campaigners today welcomed the support of Cardiff Central’s local Liberal Democrat MP Jenny Willott for important advances in the effort to reduce the use of animals in laboratories.
