Today, we wish to take the opportunity to appeal directly to you, and urge you not to abandon this region and a population fully aware that its future and a golden new era stands at a precipice. As international interest in the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon scheme has scaled new heights, your Government has become tight-lipped. If good progress is being made behind the scenes then we urge you to bring it to the fore.
And we urge you to consider the longer-term potential of tidal energy, not just here but around the UK and across the world.
This impasse cannot continue for very much longer. A bold decision is needed, and we ask that you do not fail us now.
