Storm Darragh and staying local for Christmas shopping – my Leader Live column

I want to start this week’s column with Storm Darragh, which had a devastating impact on many properties across Wales. The damage caused to people’s homes is heartbreaking and the stress and upset is unimaginable and I know that many people will have suffered powercuts, which for many vulnerable people…

Accessing healthcare and World AIDS Day – my Leader Live column

Accessing healthcare remains a pressing concern for many of us in Flintshire and I recently raised this issue with the Welsh Government in the Senedd. Through my ‘Our Home, Our Health’ survey, I gathered residents’ experiences with GP services, uncovering several challenges – the 8am scramble for appointments, long waits…

An NHS boost and protecting Welsh steel – my Leader Live column

The NHS matters to all of us – it’s made a difference to so many lives, including my own. But we know it faces significant challenges, particularly here in our corner of the country. Last week in the Senedd I welcomed the announcement of £50m in additional investment to tackle…
