•     We are completely against increasing the size of the Senedd to 96 Members. What a waste of money!! The members already in post seem intent on removing the rights of the general public. You are telling us to use public transport, bicycles or even walk to go about our daily lives but how is this feasible when public transport is severely limited or non existent in a lot of areas. How many of you Senedd Members have ever had to carry a weekly shop on a bus or pushbike? How many of you with a walking frame have ever had to walk to a hospital/GP appointment (if in fact you ever manage to get one).              

              Surely the money that this will cost would be better spent on the NHS. How many doctors or nurses could this support?    

  How will increasing the Senedd members reduce the hospital waiting lists, the waiting times in A & E or the delays in ambulance support times?

              Who will be paying for these extra members? Us the tax payers I suppose. The only people it will be benefit will be your    

  members. Will these extra members be of any help to us or is this just another case of “jobs for the boys/girls/LGBTQ+   

  etc. 

     This is our personal opinion as a family living in Carmarthenshire.
