Heledd Fychan Canol De Cymru - South Wales Central

Last night, Heledd Fychan MS took part in a protest against the removal of the £20 uplift to Universal Credit organised by People’s Assembly Wales, Unite Community Cardiff & Area Branch and Cardiff People’s Assembly.

Though the weather deterred some people from attending, everyone that braved the weather were united in demanding that everyone should have an adequate income, housing and food.

Heledd Fychan - Member of the Senedd for South Wales Central - has organized a public meeting in Nantgarw on 13 October. The meeting will be at Coleg y Cymoedd, part 7pm and 8:30 pm.

Macmillan’s annual Coffee Morning usually sees millions of pounds donated to help support people affected by cancer.

The money raised helps fund Macmillan services to make sure people with cancer can get the physical, emotional and financial support they need.

Like so many charities, Macmillan has seen a huge fall in its fundraising income as a direct result of the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

We are halfway through Pontypridd Green Week, which is part of a UK wide Great Big Green Week celebrating action on Climate Change.

This is a grassroots event, organised by local community groups and activists of all ages.  They are all united by a determination to make a difference and inspire others to respond to the climate and nature emergency. Unfortunately, for the people Pontypridd and its nearby communities, this emergency is very real and at the forefront of everyone’s minds following the devastating flooding of February 2020.

Last week, I was asked by a resident to visit Church Village to witness issues around traffic, speeding and parking.

Other residents have also been in touch to raise concerns, and want to see improvements put in place to make the village safer for pedestrians.

This week Plaid Cymru lead a debate in the Senedd on Universal Credit.

l strongly opposes the UK Government's proposal to scrap the £20 uplift in universal credit. This proposed cut would effect 65,230 families living in Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taf and the Vale of Glamorgan, amounting to a total loss of £67.4 million.

I was honoured to welcome back our wonderful Wales team at the Senedd this week following their amazing achievements at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games.

Plaid accuse Labour of “headline grabbing sticking plaster solution” over A470 toll idea

The Welsh Government over the summer have been consulting on proposals to charge drivers to use the A470 between Upper Boat and Pontypridd, as part of plans to reduce pollution via a Clean Air Zone. Most residents were made aware by letters being shared on social media by some residents who had received notification, whilst others who would be impacted have received no information and were therefore unable to respond to the consultation.

With the start of the new Senedd term fast approaching, I’d like to introduce you to my team.
