LOCAL QUESTION TIME

Below are details of an event being run and promoted by SUSTAINABLE WALES.
The Green Party will be taking part. We hope Jake Griffiths, Wales Green Party Leader
will be able to take part – otherwise a South Wale West candidate will take part.

It would also be great to have as many people as possible in the audience and taking part,
so put it in your diary!!

differences between the main parties.

Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservative and Wales
Green parties all back the Yes campaign in the referendum on March 3.

Questions might be asked on any mainstream subject the economy,
jobs, youth unemployment, the environment. Obviously, questions need
local emphasis such as Bridgends recycling and rubbish disposal,
Porthcawl regeneration, the cost of public transport.

our parties are promising.

Remember there is an Assembly election in Wales on May 5th this
year. The special Question Time will provide evidence of how to think
of our would-be representatives.

Sustainable Wales urges the public to make use of a rare political
opportunity.
It invites questions to be e-mailed to the charity office, at

will help streamline the Welsh legislative system, and make our AMs
more accountable.
