Plaid Cymru Pontypridd On Your Side

Thank you all for your support in the election last week.  In Pontypridd Constituency Heledd Fychan achieved Plaid's highest vote since 1999 and she was elected to the Senedd to represent South Wales Central.

Plaid Cymru offers a truly radical and ambitious programme for government, coupled with the promise of putting Wales' future in Wales' hands.

Our manifesto will finally tackle the problems of the prior pandemic in Wales; low wages, child poverty, and lack of opportunity.

Nothing about Wales today is inevitable, there are no problems that we cannot solve for ourselves.

A Plaid government, if elected on May 6th, would commit £500m to improving Wales flood defences and support the communities “left behind by Labour” in recent years. 

In a ground-breaking commitment, Plaid Cymru MS for the Rhondda Leanne Wood said that major storms over the last few years had devastated homes in her community, nearby Pontypridd, and in many other areas of Wales from Llanrwst to Caerphilly.  

 Councillor Heledd Fychan, Plaid Cymru candidate for Pontypridd, criticised Labour for opposing an independent inquiry into severe flooding in the Valleys, saying that a Plaid Cymru government would put right Labour’s “piecemeal approach” to flood prevention with meaningful investment. 

Plaid Cymru has today announced that his party would introduce a pioneering Nature Act if it wins the election in May to get to grips with the “biodiversity crisis” facing Wales.

The growing crisis undermines the essential services provided to society by nature – food, clean air and water, materials, medicine and more – and that one in six species in Wales were now threatened with extinction.  Plaid Cymru would introduce legally binding targets to restore biodiversity by 2050.

For the first time in Wales, 16 and 17 year olds will be able to vote in this year's Senedd election on 6 May.

Choosing who to support is a big decision.

To help with this, Plaid Cymru Senedd candidate for Pontypridd, Heledd Fychan, is today launching a series of online events for first time voters. 

Plaid Cymru has launched its Education Recovery Plan, as it emerged that children in Wales have lost an estimated half a year of learning during the pandemic.

Speaking at Plaid Cymru’s Spring Conference, Shadow Education Minister Siân Gwenllian MS outlined her plans to help all children, young people and schools recover after COVID-19

It's #Vote16 week! In May 16 and 17 year olds can vote for the first time ever! Remember to register to vote!
