North Anglesey hinges hopes on Wylfa power plant

But job losses have been a recurring issue on the island for the past 20 years.

In 2004, the closure of the Octel Amlwch factory resulted in the loss of over 500 jobs, followed by the shutdown of Anglesey Aluminum in 2009.

The situation worsened after the Wylfa nuclear plant ceased energy production in 2015.

The closure of the Rehau factory in Amlwch in 2019 added another blow, eliminating around 100 well-paid positions.

According to the latest census, the north of the island is home to 13,200 residents.

However, from 2011 to 2021, the number of people aged 65 and over increased by 30%, a significant rise compared to the Welsh average of 18%.

With the council admitting that “economic inactivity has increased in this area as it is a popular retirement area”, this trend is now viewed as a serious threat.
