If Keir Starmer's Labour Government can achieve all of this in just two months, I'm looking forward to the next 4-5 years:

#PlayStreets are a resident-led activity that enables children to play freely, outdoors and close to home. People living in Cardiff are able to apply for a temporary order to close their street for two hours a month, creating a space for children to play out under supervision. 🤸♀️

Improved? From a level paved surface which indicated to drivers to take care, to an obvious road which says 'get out of the way, your on my space '. What a waste of money and more dangerous. @cardiffcouncil @DeAthCardiff @huwthomas_Wales
Walked down the “improved” Golate multiple times this week From what Ive seen, vehicles are noticeably travelling much faster along Golate now it has been tarmaced & no longer visually a shared space. I hope the Council carried out speed monitoring before & after their changes.

I complained to one of the workers there yesterday, they said they had no instruction to put up signs. Contractors are paid handsomely by us, please rectify. @cardiffcouncil @DilwarAliLAB @jen_burke_
Hey @cardiffcouncil @CycleCymru @SustransCymru
@jen_burke_ @DilwarAliLAB The work on Hailey Park is blocking various routes and paths. One tiny sign and no redirection. Please can this be rectified to standards which are safe and practical for park users. @HaileyPkCardiff

"A disappointing result? Not at all," claimed Sauron, speaking from the smoking ruins of Mordor, "in fact it sends a clear message that we must continue to focus on our priorities for the people of Middle Earth and deliver on our goals of evil, depravity, and stopping the boats."

Thank you to all of the constituencies, and members across Wales, who have backed me to be the next Welsh Labour leader. Diolch 🌹

Wow this is a powerful video. I think Vaughans experience would make him an excellent first minister of Wales and an incredible role model.
I believe my experience, values, and vision make me the best candidate to lead our party. I'd be a First Minister for all of Wales, and would be honoured to lead our country. But I also know what me winning would mean. On #RaceEqualityWeek, here's my story.

This happens all too frequently S106 is not fit for purpose Developers can renege on commitments but are under no obligation to pay additional contributions when property prices rise.
A developer who is set to build over a former chapel has been let off from having to contribute tens of thousands of pounds towards affordable housing https://t.co/jKQQxxXvFU

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups. It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live.... Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed). [Thread]
