I would like to wish all residents a happy, prosperous and healthy new year! If you’re anything like me you will have waved goodbye to 2020 with a sigh of relief, hoping that 2021 will only get better, and although the second strain of Covid has increased the number of virus cases across the country, keeping us all in lockdown, it is encouraging to see the vaccine rollout begin.
When the vaccination program began, I was contacted by some residents who struggled to get through to the booking service to make their appointments. I have since met with Powys Teaching Health Board who have apologised for the confusion and informed me that a new booking system is being introduced, with double the capacity, which should make it easier to book appointments in the future.
In the closing hour of 2020, not only did we enter a new year, but a new relationship with our European neighbours as we left the European Union with a trade agreement. This will enable us to seize the opportunities from our post-Brexit future by championing our Welsh farmers and exporters as part of a new global vision for our country.
Last September, Powys County Council’s education department revealed education transformation proposals for our county. Part of the proposals involve closing Cradoc Primary School which would result in residents of the Yscir ward having to send their children to either Brecon or Sennybridge for primary education. Cradoc Primary School has served our community well for over half a century and I am against plans to close it. I would urge anyone else also against it to respond to the consultation process that is about to begin later in January.
