Mike Hedges Welcomes news that Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn commits a new Labour Government to building the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon.



Speaking from his Constituency office in Swansea, Mike Hedges AM said… ‘this is good news for Wales and Swansea! We all know the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon made sense, especially when you factor in that it is an emerging technology where start-up costs are always higher than established ones; we also know however that the rewards both to the local economy and in combating climate change would have been significant. The Welsh Government have already committed to supporting the Tidal Lagoon and now this additional commitment from the Labour Leader gives further impetus to those who remain committed to delivering the Tidal Lagoon Project, even if in a modified form. I will continue to support the Tidal Bay Lagoon in whatever way that I can.’

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn claims his party's plans for a "green industrial revolution" will transform society and create high-quality jobs.

Mr Corbyn restated Labour's support for schemes such as a Swansea tidal lagoon ahead of a visit to Machynlleth, Powys.

He accused the UK government of a "failed approach" to climate change
