Plaid Cymru Pontypridd On Your Side

Last week, Welsh Government confirmed that the cut to Bus Emergency Scheme (BES) – originally due to end in March 2023 – would be extended to June 2023.

However, speaking in Questions to the First Minister, Leader of Plaid Cymru, Adam Price MS, said that this merely delayed the risk to services and jobs – a concern that has previously been raised by industry body Coach and Bus Association Cymru.

Whilst getting ready for school one morning last week, my nine-year-old son was singing ‘Yma o Hyd’.

He’s also been singing it in his class and in the schoolyard with his friends – an indication that Dafydd Iwan’s epic song and the Cymru Men’s Football Team anthem for the World Cup have captured the imagination and hearts of a new generation of fans.

And with Cymru’s journey at the World Cup starting tomorrow, we’ll no doubt be hearing a lot more of ‘Yma o Hyd’ in the coming days and weeks.

‘Absurd absence of leadership’ by Westminster ‘truly unforgivable’, says Liz Saville Roberts

Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader, Liz Saville Roberts MP, has today (Thursday 25 August) called on the UK government to return the price cap to pre-April levels. The party also called for the price cap to be extended to small businesses and charities, which are currently excluded, and for financial support for vulnerable households to be doubled.

Plaid Cymru MS for South Wales Central Heledd Fychan – who was Councillor for Pontypridd Town Ward when Storm Dennis hit in February 2020 welcomes the review.

“Over two years since the devastation in 2020, not all reports into the floods have been published and residents and business owners still don’t know what happened or why, or whether their homes and businesses will be safe from flooding in the future,” she said.

Thank you to all the people that voted for Plaid Cymru candidates across RCT.

In Pontypridd we retained the seats we won in 2017 and increased the number of Plaid Cymru Town and Community Councillors.

Climate change, coal tip safety, flooding and the cost of living crisis are some of Plaid Cymru’s key focuses ahead of next month’s council elections. Pauline Jarman, has laid out what the party’s priorities would be for RCT should they take control of the council after the election on May 5.

Covering a wide range of topics such as the cost of living crisis, education, coal tips and the environment, she said the first thing they’d do is look at the Covid review and how it affects children’s education which she said is a key consideration. Ms Jarman also said they’d focus on the mental health of children and the loneliness of the elderly post-pandemic.
