The leader of Plaid Cymru, Rhun ap Iorwerth, visits Mid & South Pembrokeshire constituency to support the party candidate Cris Tomos

Rhun ap Iorwerth accompanied Cris Tomos and supporters when canvassing in Mid and South Pembrokeshire constituency this week.  The local candidate for Plaid Cymru, Cris Tomos outlined his ambitions and aims for the new constituency for Mid and South Pembrokeshire. Cris emphasised that the opportunities and economic boost offered by green and renewable energy in Pembrokeshire need to be channel back to support local services and offer new skills training for local people to gain quality jobs in the emerging green economy. Cris explained "revenues generated from the Celtic Sea floating wind development should have a ring fenced economic fund for Pembrokeshire to allow new start-up companies and expand existing green economy business to offer quality and competitive salaries to local people" Cris added "the Crown Estate in West Wales will benefit greatly from the green revolution but currently all the hundreds of millions of pounds that will be realised will go directly to the treasury in London, we have to fight now for the retention of this funding to remain in Wales and focused on offering quality jobs, housing and public services for the people of Mid and South Pembrokeshire"  Cris concluded "with such a predicted boost in revenue from the green economy we can building new affordable energy efficient homes in the county,  help finance threatened services such as the day centres and libraries, while also offering more practical support for families living in poverty due to the austerity and mismanagement of the economy by the current Conservative governments in Westminster and the Labour Government in Cardiff Bay."
