He added: The Welsh public are having the opportunity to safeguard their own mental and physical health and well being taken away from them. While it may seem to some that this is a small step in the right direction, it’s far from acceptable to us, especially when you consider the increase risk this lack of parity with England will bring, with people travelling back and fore across the border. Mo Nasir, who runs Mo s Boxing and Fitness in Newport, echoed the sentiment that people s mental health was an important factor.
