Enterprise zone snub is a blow for Swansea region

2012 Ionawr 31 3:05 PM

The decision by the Minister for Business, Enterprise, Technology and Science not to award an Enterprise Zone to the Swansea area, is a blow for the City and the region around it, the Welsh Liberal Democrat Assembly Member for South Wales West, Peter Black, has said.

Mr. Black was reacting to the announcement today that two new Enterprise Zones will be established in Gwynedd and Pembrokeshire. The Minister rejected a specific bid from Swansea Council in partnership with Swansea University, to establish a themed zone based on the work being carried on by the University in Life Sciences and engineering.

"I am particularly disappointed at this snub to the Swansea region," said Mr. Black. "A lot of work went into producing an exciting and innovative proposal that would have focused on high-tech jobs and research-based development, but that appears to have been rejected out of hand with no explanation and no transparency as to how that decision was reached.

"Once more the Welsh Labour government has failed to provide the investment and support that Swansea needs to grow its economy. I expected better of them."
