| PAM BELL, Plaid Cymru - The Party of Wales Monmouthshire County Council Candidate for Llanelly Hill Ward |
Over the years, I have seen many changes imposed on our
community. Planning decisions that make no sense to the community,
neglect and disruption of rural roads and paths, loss of local services,
village school closures...
All too often, our views seem to take second place to plans made
elsewhere, to meet other priorities.
Plaid Cymru believes in communities, and as your
councillor I will strive to ensure that whatever the issue, decisions are taken
transparently, with proper consultation, with residents’ views sought and taken
into account.
I was born and brought up in London, and moved to Llanelly Hill in
1988. I graduated in environmental sciences
and worked in education, training and travel before becoming self-employed in
activity tourism. Alongside my career, I have always been involved in
voluntary work, including social and youth programmes, conservation and public
access to the countryside.
Spending your money
wisely
Plaid Cymru secured an additional
£25m for our councils in the 2016 Welsh Government budget, and our Councillors
will scrutinise spending in terms of:
Fairness: closing the gap between those at the top and the
bottom by protecting jobs and
services while challenging excessive top-level pay.
Ethical
Investment of council reserves in local
low-risk projects.
Local
Businesses supported by appropriate bidding
systems for council contracts, and
‘Buy Local’ policies.
Schools to
be accountable to the local community, doing what is best for pupils, not held
back by red-tape.
Planning that works for
People
It is unfair that small-scale sustainable developments
are often refused while housing estates are imposed, against the wishes of the
local residents. Plaid Cymru councillors will fight for sustainable
development; affordable and rooted in the needs of the community.
