Clwyd West MS Darren Millar is calling on the Welsh Government to adopt a targeted and proportionate approach to tackling the spread of Covid rather than a Wales-wide blanket approach, which he said would be “grossly unfair” to residents and businesses in North Wales.
He is also calling for clarity over pre-Christmas restrictions, with people in North Wales currently unsure about where they are allowed to travel to and what recreational activities they are permitted to do.
He said:
“It is grossly unfair to impose the same level of restrictions in Conwy and Denbighshire as Covid-19 hotspots in South Wales.
“The virus is circulating at different rates in different parts of the country and the Welsh Government must adopt a targeted and proportionate approach to tackling the spread rather than a Wales-wide blanket approach which will wreak havoc on businesses and the jobs that depend on them, especially in the hospitality and entertainment industries.
“People in North Wales also need urgent clarity on pre-Christmas restrictions on things like travel and recreational activities. The current situation is confusing and will cause many to inadvertently break the rules.”
