Mental Health Awareness Week and online help for older residents – my Leader Live column

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week – an opportunity to come together to focus on improving our mental health. The week aims to tackle stigma and help people to understand and prioritise theirs and others’ mental health. Last Friday I visited KIM Inspire in Holywell, a community mental health…

PCC election results and 25 years of devolution

This week we have been commemorating 25 years of devolution in Wales. Devolution symbolised a new chapter for the politics and the people of this country. With devolution has come greater autonomy and a stronger voice. Over a quarter of a century, Wales has led the way in so…

N Wales transport investment and 20mph – my Leader Live column

It’s been a busy week at the Senedd and there are a few things that readers in North Wales will be interested to hear about. Firstly, the Welsh Government announced that £20.8million will be invested in transport projects across North Wales to improve public transport and encourage economic growth, which…

School visits and fundraising for Flint Pride – my Leader Live column

It was great to have a visit last week from Year 5 pupils from Ysgol Glanrafon in Mold and Ysgol Terrig in Treuddyn in the Senedd – the students had an overnight stay in Cardiff before taking a tour of the Parliament building and learning more about what we, as…

Back to the Senedd after the Easter break and my new government role – my Leader Live column

My Leader Live column

Although Easter weekend has just passed and the school holidays are still in full flow, it’s worth reminding readers that there is still time to check eligibility for support from the Welsh Government’s School Essentials Grant. This grant is to help with costs, such as school uniform, shoes, bags, sports…

My Leader Live column

It was a busy week at the Senedd last week in the run-up to the Easter recess – not least because we bade farewell to one First Minister and welcomed in another. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Drakeford for his service as First Minister for the…

My Leader Live column

I know from conversations and correspondences with constituents that the challenges faced and the progress being made by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) is something – rightly – high on our minds here in Flintshire. Local representatives receive updates from the health board and I’m always keen to share…

My Leader Live column
