Mid Wales concerns
The recess allows me to spend a good part of this week in the Mid and West constituency - and I do so.
Many of the issues are educational, I visit the Priory School in Brecon, It is a very good Church of Wales school but the state of the buildings is atrocious. It was built in 1974 but it has a flat roof that leaks - uncomfortable and dangerous. One of the two boilers doesn’t work either. The Welsh Assembly government had sanctioned a tender for a new school for 210 pupils but has since rescinded that and wants a smaller school which would mean single form entry would no longer be possible and that is
educationally undesirable.
I also do another two educational visits to Llanfihangel School in Montgomeryshire which is threatened with closure and also to meet with parents in Howey in Radnorshire another closure threatened school. .The Rainbow Alliance would have put more money into the small schools fund, which would have helped these schools.
I also hold surgeries in the patch and go out with Nick Bardsley who is putting up a superb fight for us in a local government by election. The weather on Thursday is brilliant but as awful on Friday.
Well done to Glyn on his selection. The news was well received in the area.
