#Holyhead - A wishlist that could see £1.3bn of investment in the North Wales region to include the Port of Holyhead has been revealed.

According to the Daily Post, North Wales’ six councils as well as education bodies and business groups came together to prepare the North Wales Growth bid that would see money provided by the UK and Welsh governments for training and infrastructure.

A meeting of business and political leaders, today heard the plan could create over 5,000 jobs directly - with £383.4m in Growth Bid cash from the Governments tipped to trigger an additional £1 billion in private sector investment.

They also heard the plan would increase the rate of business start-ups and small business growth, support innovation in energy and advanced manufacturing, reduce unemployment and taken together with other programmes and the Wylfa Newydd development, increase GDP from £12.8bn in 2015 to £20bn in 2035.

The bid will now be considered by the UK and Welsh governments.
