There are
huge challenges ahead for Penarth that need addressing. Issues
such as inappropriate development, a proper Local Development Plan
and a major focus on the economy are crying out for action. This was
the message from the Westminster and National Assembly candidates for
Plaid Cymru at the launch of their campaigns.
Party members
were buoyed by the stunning Assembly by-election result in Anglesey
and the equally impressive Caerffili council by-elections victories
this month.
Jobs and the
economy are top of Plaid agenda with a special emphasis on public
bodies such as councils and the Health Trusts sourcing goods and
services from local companies. If we could achieve the level that the
Scottish Government manages to use local companies an extra 46,000
jobs could be created in Wales.
Ben
Foday standing for Westminster said, “I am so delighted to be Plaid
Cymru’s candidate in Cardiff South and Penarth for the 2015
Westminster election. This shows clearly that Plaid Cymru is a
party is for everyone in Wales in general and Cardiff South
and Penarth in particular. I am determined to give this true image of
the party to the electorate over the period leading to the election.
Dafydd
Trystan the Assembly candidate said, “I
look forward to talking to thousands of residents across the
constituency over the years ahead and placing Plaid's positive vision
before the people in 2016. I'm sure that people will respond
positively to the contrast between Plaid's vision and Labour's
inaction.”
