The Member of the Senedd for the Rhondda has said all frontline workers deserve “decent financial recognition” for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Rhondda Member of the Senedd has made an impassioned plea to save the arts, saying it remains a pillar of the community and we cannot afford to lose it.

In her speech to Plaid Cymru’s first virtual annual conference, Plaid Cymru’s Shadow Minister for Justice and Equalities, Leanne Wood MS, will say that the covid-19 pandemic has shown the “power of communities.”

Leanne Wood has told Plaid Cymru’s Spring conference of her wish to see a ‘Green New Deal’ here in Wales.
