Notice of Motion by Councillor Gwynfor Owen In accordance with the Notice of Motion received under Section 4.19 of
the Constitution, Councillor Gwynfor Owen will propose as follows:- The Cambrian Coast Railway is of immense importance to the economy of
Gwynedd, with thousands of visitors using it, but more importantly, the people
of Gwynedd themselves use this Railway on a daily basis to go to school, work,
to shop or for leisure purposes. Transport for Wales have recently stated that they want to cut the
number of trains running along the line. The way to improve train use is by increasing
the number of trains and definitely not cutting them. This Council makes it clear to Transport for
Wales and to the Welsh Government, who are the owners of Transport for Wales,
that any cut in the number of trains on the Cambrian Railway is not acceptable,
and instead they should look at how to increase the number of trains throughout
the year. Additional documents: Decision: The Cambrian

until everyone has a warm home which is fit for purpose. This is the objective of this Council. We call on the Welsh Government to enable

framework to support communities, housing providers and local authorities to
respond to the current crisis. Additional documents: Decision: Cyngor Gwynedd believes that no house should be

the Constitution, Councillor Llio Elenid Owen will propose as follows:- The decision by the Welsh National Health
Service Joint Commissioning
Committee and health boards to close and centralise
the Welsh Air Ambulance centres
of Caernarfon (Dinas Dinlle) and Welshpool
is a devastating blow to
the whole of Gwynedd and another example of how Wales's central
services ignore the aspirations and demands of rural Wales. I ask the Council to oppose the decision, and to ask for full
intervention and investigation into the decision by the Welsh Government. Additional documents: Decision: The
