Business leaders and local authorities have joined forces with the Welsh Government to create the Swansea Bay Region to help give the area a major economic boost.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart gave the keynote speech and said, “The fact that partners have already worked together to develop an economic regeneration strategy provided an excellent foundation for the development of the City region.”
She continued, “The Swansea Bay City Region Economic Regeneration Strategy identifies a collective approach – the region coming together - to deliver an ambitious plan for economic growth. I am pleased to see a clear vision underpinned by detailed economic analysis of the region.”
David Phillips the leader of Swansea Council said, “These are tough economic times. But as a city region, we will pool resources, expertise and experience to create a profile that will encourage economic development and investment. We don’t have to wait for the economy to turn, we can do it now.”

Iconic Breed of White Park Cattle is Calving at Dinefwr
As a result of the herd contracting TB in 2012, Dinefwr lost a total of 15 cows and their breeding bull. Lead Ranger and Stockman, Wyn Davies said that the new calf is, “fantastic news for the cattle, for us and for the future of the herd.”
He said, “These animals are the rarest of the rare.” In fact, there are only 1000 registered females left in the world and Dinefwr is their ancestral home, so it’s vital they survive and continue to provide a living link to our distant past.
The first calf of the year was born on June 7 – a bull calf of very good pedigree. The new addition has already attracted a lot of attention amongst ancient breed enthusiasts due to his unusual marking, as he was born with red ears.
For further information, contact: marketing@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
Mae Parc Dinefwr wedi cyhoeddi bod eu brîd eiconig o Gwartheg Gwyn yn awr yn rhydd o TB ar ôl 18 mis o peri gofid o dan gyfyngiadau symud, ac yn lloia eto oherwydd meant wedi ychwanegu tarw newydd.
O ganlyniad i'r fuches ddal TB yn 2012, collodd Dinefwr gyfanswm o 15 o wartheg a'u tarw bridio. Ranger a Stockman, dywedodd Wyn Davies fod y llo newydd yw, "newyddion gwych i'r gwartheg, i ni ac i'r dyfodol y fuches."
Dywedodd, "Mae'r anifeiliaid yw'r prinnaf o'r prin." Yn wir, dim ond 1000 o ferched cofrestredig ar ôl yn y byd a Dinefwr yw eu cartref teuluol, felly mae'n hanfodol eu bod yn goroesi ac yn parhau i ddarparu cyswllt byw i'n gorffennol pell .
Y llo cyntaf y flwyddyn ei eni ar Fehefin 7 - llo tarw o dras da iawn. Mae'r ychwanegiad newydd eisoes wedi denu llawer o sylw ymysg selogion brîd hynafol oherwydd ei marcio anarferol, gan iddo gael ei eni â chlustiau cochion.
