The European route E22 from Dublin to Rotterdam is the main arterial route from Anglesey to Chester, Merseyside and beyond. Its deficiencies adversely affect the public and all types of businesses. With decreased tourism visits we need to do everything to ensure that visitors' experiences are of the best quality as soon as they set foot in Wales. While gathering information for this debate through the usual Members Research Service channels, I was slightly horrified to have been refused by the Minister data referring to maintenance and ongoing road works on the A55. I was told that the information would only be available through a specific ministerial question. Is this our open and frank democracy? 2008-06-18T00:00+01:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000008/a_safer_wales_welsh_liberal_democrat_spring_conference_march_2007.html Bore da cynhadledd, mae'n bleser cael y cyfle i'ch annerch heddiw ar y pwnc 'Cymru fwy diogel". 2007-03-11T11:20+00:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000007/age_concern_cymru_fringe_event_a_new_age_time_to_deliver_for_older_people_in_wales__welsh_liberal_democrat_spring_conference_march_2007.html I'm delighted to be chairing this important Age Concern fringe, here in Sunny Swansea. 2007-03-10T12:30+00:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000006/pride_in_wales_speech_on_the_party_motion_for_culture_welsh_language_and_sport.html Hello Conference. 2007-03-10T10:30+00:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000005/eleanors_2020_vision_for_sport_and_culture_in_wales__sport_and_drama_in_our_communities.html I'd like to briefly speak to you about what it means to me to see so many activities for you to enjoy provided on your doorstep for free. I'm sure many people will agree with me when I say that this place and all of you are setting an fantastic example for the rest of Wales, a Wales in which everyone can go to their local school, playing field, community hall, or church hall and play football, hockey, basketball, or rugby, or act in a play, dance in a group, sing on a stage, or any activity you can think of! I would like to see this happening, not just here in Tonypandy, but all over Wales. 2007-02-01T11:00+00:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000004/iaith_pawb_annual_debate.html Progress in general should not distract us from success in specifics. What I do not see in this report is the clarity of vision and hunger for real achievement that existed when Iaith Pawb was launched by my colleague Jenny Randerson as Culture Minister in the partnership government. 2006-07-12T16:30+01:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000003/a_new_welsh_language_policy_for_the_welsh_liberal_democrats.html Good morning conference, I would like to thank Gwynedd Liberal Democrats for submitting the motion on the future of the language. 2006-03-10T10:50+00:00 http://eburnham.org.uk/speeches/000002/digital_tv_for_all.html In 2009 Wales will be one of the first regions of the United Kingdom to switch over to digital. It is critical that this Assembly ensures that everyone across the length and breadth of Wales can share in Digital TV. Through switchover we must address the inequalities and inconsistencies that currently exist in TV broadcasting. 2005-10-05T16:33+01:00
