Well, Llywydd, I thank the Member for those further practical suggestions. As I said in my answer to the local Member for Ynys Môn, the Welsh Government continues to be open to discussions at official level, and with people on the ground, to make sure we have the best available data and can see whether further action could be taken. I do know that action has already been taken to make sure that there is additional signage, making it clear to people that businesses in Menai Bridge remain open. And some of the actions that were agreed last week will make it easier for people to be able to visit the town and, with parking charges in car parks lifted from the first of the month, to be able to stay there and do their shopping. But if there's more that can be done to make sure that people are aware that the town is open for businesses, and, indeed, in the longer run, that that part of Wales continues to be somewhere that is absolutely worth people visiting, then of course we'd be keen to be part of that effort.
