Keep Services Local
Plaid Cymru: The Party of Wales firmly believes in the need to protect local services if we are to ensure that our communities are to remain living entities. We oppose the centralisation and rationalisation agenda which lies at the heart of New Labour's policy programme.
Rhodri has campaigned vigorously against the closure of rural sub post offices; government plans to close benefits processing centres and the proposed downgrading of the South West Wales Children's Paediatric Neurosurgery unit at Morriston hospital.
Rhodri will also be actively campaigning against the proposals of Carmarthenshire County Council's New Labour - Independent Administration to close nearly forty schools over the next five years, calling instead for an educational policy which reflects the needs of each individual community not a quick fix wholesale programme.
