Anglesey secures freeport status in move backers say will create thousands of jobs

UK and Welsh governments have reached a deal for two freeports in Wales.

This is a very good decision for international trade, for Wales, UK, the landbridge between EU-UK-Ireland-Norther Ireland.

Anglesey has secured freeport status in a move backers say will create thousands of jobs. In May 2022, the Welsh Government reached an agreement with the UK Government to estblish a freeport programme in Wales after a long stand-off over the levels of funding.

The island freeport around Holyhead was up against the Celtic Freeport in Milford Haven and Port Talbot and a multi-site freeport in south east Wales that included Cardiff Airport. Tonight it was confirmed that Anglesey and the Celtic Freeport had both been successful.
