Economic growth and electricity standing charges – my Leader Live column

It was another busy week in the Senedd last week and, at First Minister’s Questions, I asked how the Welsh Government is investing in infrastructure to drive economic growth in our corner of North East Wales. In my speech, I made the case for the re-opening of Mostyn railway station…

My Senedd debate for International Women’s Day – my Leader Live column

Last week saw International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women across the world. This year, the theme is Accelerate Action and, ahead of the day, I used a short debate in the Senedd and drew on my own experiences as a…

St David’s Day and the investment zone – my Leader Live column

Last week was half term recess in the Senedd so members haven’t been sitting, but it was also St David’s Day – our national day here in Wales and one that I celebrated at the event in Daniel Owen Square in Mold. The Welsh Government has made it clear it…

Welsh Government budget and ban on greyhound racing – my Leader Live column

The big news in the Senedd last week was around the Welsh Government agreeing and publishing a final budget, which readers will have heard about on the news. While the budget will need to be debated and voted on in the Siambr in March, there are a number of things…

LGBT+ History Month and strengthening social partnership – my Leader Live column

Local transport and Heart Unions Week – my Leader Live column

During the debate, I called for a funding floor for local authorities – especially for councils…

My question in Welsh in the Senedd – my Leader Live column

Yn y Senedd wythnos yma, siaradais i am ddysgu Cymraeg – yn Gymraeg! In the Senedd last week, I spoke about learning Welsh – and I did it in Welsh. I asked the Welsh Government what it is doing to support more flexible learning for adults studying Welsh, from regular…

Primary care and our town centres – my Leader Live column

Access to primary care in Flintshire is a concern I hear about often from people in our community, in particular people’s frustrations around getting through to GP surgeries and booking appointments. That’s why I raised this issue with the Welsh Government in the Senedd last week, emphasising the need to…

Maximising income and improving the A55 – my Leader Live column

During First Minister’s Questions in the Senedd last week, I had the opportunity to raise the issue of improving road infrastructure in North Wales. While we’ve made significant progress since the days before the A55, we all know the challenges it still presents – Flintshire residents will be all too…

Last week I had the chance to return to Theatr Clwyd to catch up with executive director Liam Evans-Ford and see the impressive progress being made on the transformation of the theatre. With support from Flintshire County Council, the Arts Council of Wales and £22m of Welsh Government funding, the…
