The picture is complex and "locals" do need local, all season employment as well as keeping pricing and services affordable to that local economy. I think a problem is that the changes are too rapid and things get unbalanced. The problem isn't money coming in, building up an economy, allowing locals to build up too but that a sudden inrush of money changes things too fast and there is no integration in either direction. Locals (feel) pushed out, priced out and those coming in don't then have a community to become part of and to contribute to. I have less time for those who buy up property just for investment and don't use it or only use it infrequently and don't want to be part of a community.

The " problem" is keeping the Welsh speaking minority in the area, so they will continue to vote plaid, the party that keeps labour in power in Wales , forcing a dead language down everyone s throat. Trying driving in Wales , Welsh is first on signage so no hope of reading it . Even Aldi announce first in Welsh, l forget that so many of the population, wouldn't understand if it was in English first.
or is it that it would then be pointless. My son speaks Welsh and has demonstrated only many occasions, how rude the native peoples of north Wales are, go into a shop speaking English see what happens, after on while he tells them in Welsh were to go, it's priceless to see there faces
