00:00Tlodi Gwledig is a business with a lot of money.
00:07It's a spar with people who live in this area.
00:11Does that affect the businesses?
00:14Yes, it does.
00:16Tlodi Gwledig is growing day by day...
00:19..after a new strategy was announced today.
00:22This is from the 1930s.
00:25In Llandysul, Sandra has been running a business for five years...
00:30..and even though there's so much money through grants...
00:34..it's essential as a client...
00:36..that affects people in the Gwledig area.
00:39One of the main things is the transport infrastructure.
00:44The old bus station was just a block away.
00:50Most of the old people used it...
00:53..to come into Llandysul's hinterlands.
00:56Without that, they'd have lost their business...
01:01..to the local economy.
01:03We've also put people in areas that are quite isolated...
01:09..and they can't come in to have a community.
01:13According to the Bevan Foundation...
01:16..the GDP in the Gwledig area is currently...
01:20..£27 a week more per capita...
01:23..and £4 a week more per capita...
01:27..compared to the GDP in the Trefol area.
01:31On top of that...
01:33..there's a huge amount of land in the Gwledig area as well.
01:39Gwynedd, Powys, Sir Benfro, Conwy...
01:43..and here in the Gwledig area, with the rest of Wales.
01:47Studies show...
01:49..that there's a lot more land in the Gwledig area...
01:53..than people expect.
01:55It's a huge amount.
01:57Only 34.6% of people in the Gwledig area live in an apartment.
02:02That says a lot, doesn't it?
02:04In Cardiff today...
02:06..the Labour Party...
02:08..which has drawn widespread support...
02:12..wants to ensure that there's an impact assessment...
02:17..regarding the impact on the Gwledig area.
02:20So I want to see...
02:22..every time the Government creates a policy...
02:26..I want to see how that affects the Gwledig area.
02:30I started in 2015.
02:33Back in Cardiff...
02:35..there are a lot of taxis and buses that run the area.
02:39It's a waste of time...
02:41..because I'm sure there are a lot of houses.
02:44With the Gwledig area being a part of the United Kingdom...
02:48..there's a lot in the strategy to invest in Wales.
02:52A good idea, according to this business.
02:55It won't be that big.
02:57We're going to spend...
02:59..depending on what goes on...
03:02..about £2,000 a week on diesel.
03:06So if we save £2,000 a litre...
03:10..over the week, over the month, over the year...
03:14..we'll keep up with the strategy.
03:17We want the strategy to be more than just a piece of paper...
03:22..that we're given.
03:24That it doesn't just go into a tick box.
03:28If there are suggestions...
03:30..strategies have been published in the paper.
03:33The time has come to ensure real change...
03:37..with the Gwledig area's policies.
