Leanne Wood Plaid Cymru candidate for the Rhondda

The Rhondda AM has called upon the Welsh Government to take ownership of a key landmark that is earmarked for redevelopment.

Leanne Wood has welcomed news that a cycling route for the Rhondda Fawr is being explored.

Leanne Wood has congratulated the Rhondda Tunnel Society after they won a grant of nearly £100,000.

Speaking about the £10,000 tapping survey being undertaken on the Rhondda Tunnel, local Assembly Member Leanne Wood said: "It is great that this survey - secured as a result of Plaid Cymru's budget negotiations with the Welsh Government - will take us one step closer to the reopening of the Rhondda Tunnel.

Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood has urged people to get behind a new charity shop established to raise funds for the reopening of the Rhondda Tunnel.

“Over the past week I have obtained information that shows the Welsh Government has made no approach, formal or informal, to take control of the Rhondda Tunnel.
