Most unemployment in this part of Wales is caused by the seasonal nature of the infrastructure. Without going in to the local politics there is a large groundswell of local opinion in this Welsh speaking area opposed to the transient nature of the incomers who buy up cottages that are unoccupied outside the summer season.
Local kids are priced out while large parts of the villages are locked up which does not support the school or local shop/pub.
Wales is like Scotland and Cornwall...ruggedly attractive during the summer but
deserted in winter.
While as a pilot I support any airfield operation I suspect the business model here is more than GA.
