NHS figures and our new-look Theatr Clwyd – my Leader Live column

Last week in the Senedd, I paid tribute to those at the heart of our communities during Volunteers Week – volunteers, groups and organisers who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Whether it’s Mold Community Clubhouse & Gardens, hospital leagues of friends or Walk & Talk Today in Ffynnongroyw, their work…

Volunteers Week and a boost for the Welsh language – my Leader Live column

It was recess last week in the Senedd, which gave me the chance to get out and about in North East Wales – and it was interesting to see the response from the ban on disposable vapes coming into effect. My first job in government was back in 2017 when,…

Reviving town centres, supporting mental health and connecting North Wales

Last week in the Senedd the Welsh Government announced a consultation on cutting business rates for smaller retail shops – a move that could benefit around 13,000 businesses across Wales. Shops with a rateable value under £51,000 would pay less – helping level the playing field with the growth of…

Mental Health Awareness Week and out and about in Delyn – my Leader Live column

Last week was Mental Health Awareness Week, a week where we can highlight the importance of building communities that care and truly support individuals living with mental health conditions.

Returning after Easter and free prescriptions for all – my Leader Live column

This week, members return to the Senedd after the Easter recess and it’s good to get back to this part of my role as your representative. As well as my work on the Senedd Standards of Conduct Committee, which I chair, and the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee which…

Easter recess and NHS waiting times – my Leader Live column

The Easter recess from the Senedd means I have more time to get out and about here at home in the constituency. At the start of the break, I was pleased to have the chance to pay a visit to Holywell Leisure Centre and meet with both the manager…

The regional transport plan and bus reform – my Leader Live column

At First Minister’s Questions last week, I asked about the Welsh Government’s transport priorities for Delyn, taking the opportunity to raise what feels like an attempt to resurrect the ‘red route’ buried away in Ambition North Wales’ draft Regional Transport Plan – there is a need for future-focused transport solutions,…

High street banking services and meeting the WI – my Leader Live column

At First Minister’s Questions in the Senedd last week, I asked the First Minister what the Welsh Government is doing to support access to high street banking services in town centres across Flintshire. With yet another bank closure announced – this time Santander in Holywell – residents and businesses will…
