Heledd Fychan MS Calls for Urgent Action on RAAC in Hirwaun Homes
Heledd Fychan MS has called for an urgent oral statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government regarding the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in homes in Hirwaun.

Standing Against Militarism in Wales
|
During UN International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness I was proud to sponsor an event at the Senedd, highlighting militarism in Wales, hosted by PARC Against DARC. Plaid Cymru has a long-standing history of opposing militarism and advocating for peace. We remain committed to supporting the campaign by Pembrokeshire residents against the DARC proposals. There was a lot of interesting discussions and a valuable opportunity for Senedd Members to learn more and understand the strength of opposition and the reasons why this should be of concern to everyone in Wales. |

Heledd Fychan MS: living by the River a conference to Discuss Flood Protection for Communities
This weekend marks the fifth anniversary of the devastating floods caused by Storm Dennis across south Wales. Many of these communities were again affected by flooding from Storm Bert in November 2024, raising concerns among residents and business owners about the increasing risk of flooding.
