Helping organisations be more energy efficient and Mold Spring Clean – my Leader Live column

The Welsh Government’s Young Person’s Guarantee scheme is one of our success stories here in Wales. More than 48,500 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 across the country have been helped to access employability and skills programmes. The Young Person’s Guarantee provides young people in Wales with…

Economic growth and electricity standing charges – my Leader Live column

It was another busy week in the Senedd last week and, at First Minister’s Questions, I asked how the Welsh Government is investing in infrastructure to drive economic growth in our corner of North East Wales. In my speech, I made the case for the re-opening of Mostyn railway station…

My Senedd debate for International Women’s Day – my Leader Live column

Last week saw International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women across the world. This year, the theme is Accelerate Action and, ahead of the day, I used a short debate in the Senedd and drew on my own experiences as a…

St David’s Day and the investment zone – my Leader Live column

LGBT+ History Month and strengthening social partnership – my Leader Live column

This month is LGBT+ History Month – a time to reflect on how far we’ve come in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and to celebrate those whose contributions have too often been erased from history. I have campaigned for LGBTQ+ equality long before I was elected and, even now, I…

Local transport and Heart Unions Week – my Leader Live column

This week in the Senedd, members debated the Welsh Government’s draft budget and, while I welcome the focus on prioritising public services, reversing the long-term impact of 14 years of austerity will take time. During the debate, I called for a funding floor for local authorities – especially for councils…

My question in Welsh in the Senedd – my Leader Live column

Yn y Senedd wythnos yma, siaradais i am ddysgu Cymraeg – yn Gymraeg! In the Senedd last week, I spoke about learning Welsh – and I did it in Welsh. I asked the Welsh Government what it is doing to support more flexible learning for adults studying Welsh, from regular…

Primary care and our town centres – my Leader Live column

Access to primary care in Flintshire is a concern I hear about often from people in our community, in particular people’s frustrations around getting through to GP surgeries and booking appointments. That’s why I raised this issue with the Welsh Government in the Senedd last week, emphasising the need to…

Maximising income and improving the A55 – my Leader Live column

During First Minister’s Questions in the Senedd last week, I had the opportunity to raise the issue of improving road infrastructure in North Wales.
