🛍 In Riverside, we’re upgrading the area around Lower Cathedral Road, Neville Street and Despenser Gardens—making it safer, cleaner and more welcoming. Proud to invest in a thriving local shopping street. @CaroWild @leothomson

Lots to be optimistic about in the spending review. A record extra £5B for Welsh Government is key to protecting local services and the NHS, but the funding announced will also help deliver more frequent train services and new stations. The difference a Labour Government makes.

https://t.co/ZKuY4CBim2 This really is a staggering idea from Plaid Cymru. It would directly take any potential new money away from some of the poorest urban communities in Wales. It really needs to be called out and challenged more directly 🧵
