I look forward to seeing this commitment progress over the next five years. Islwyn has made the silver screen with the wonderful film

The issue was raised in the Senedd chamber by Rhun ap Iorwerth MS, representing Ynys Môn residents. Quizzing the Labour leader, he said: “I think it s very appropriate that the first question of this new parliamentary term relates to an issue which is such a crisis, and one which people are insisting on having action upon.
