📢UPDATE: Post Office- Wrexham city centre📢
I have been in contact with the Post Office asking for a further update after the store closed at the weekend.
Post Office have advertised for potential applicants to come forward to operate a post office in Wrexham. They received expressions of interest and an applicant is in the very early stages of the process.
Typically it takes around six months for a new branch to open. This includes identifying and approving the operator, finalising agreements, installing Post Office facilities, undertaking any necessary property works and ensuring the new operator and their staff receive the appropriate training.
Whilst I know that six months is a long time for those who use the Post Office, the process is already under way. I will also be following this up with them. Unfortunately it is customers who are suffering because of the decisions of TG Jones.
The Post Office has apologised to customers who may need to travel further and highlight that the nearest post office services are available at Rhosddu Post Office LL11 2NW and Caia Park, Prince Charles Road LL13 8YB. ... See MoreSee Less

At Welsh Affairs Committee last week, we were told that licence reform is desperately needed to ensure the future of broadcasting for BBC Cymru Wales and S4C.
Different funding models are being looked at.
"Unless there is future licence fee reform then we are all set on that inevitable path of continued and managed decline." Rhys Evans, head of corporate affairs, BBC Cymru Wales.

As a Welsh Affairs Committee member, I heard directly from Michael Sheen, Lucy Taylor and Dan Ashby today about their investigations and research that led to the production of 'Buried' which so many of us have watched in horror at what has been happening in Wrexham, other parts of Wales and the UK.
The key messages that were made clear were:
➡More testing is needed to fully understand what is happening at these sites.
➡Strengthening legislation so that it's the polluter that pays and doesn't profit.
➡This requires a 4 nation approach and the burden should not fall on councils.
➡UK and Welsh Government must listen and take action. I hope the First Minister will now meet with Michael, Dan and Lucy as he declined to do so before the programme was aired.

✨📢EVERY YOUNG PERSON DESERVES A REAL SHOT AT SECURE WORK🌟💼
I truly believe in this and welcome the news this week about the new "Opening Shift" programme which will offer:
✅More than 11,000 retail work experience placements
✅Dedicated workplace support and interview experience.
✅Help for young people on Universal Credit, and those who are NEET (not in education, employment or training), and looking for work.
It's great to see the UK Government taking practical action to break the "no experience, no job" cycle and open up more routes into secure work.
There's still more to do, and I'll keep pushing for more opportunities — but this is a step in the right direction for our young people. 💪 ... See MoreSee Less

🐓🌾 Breakfast Clubs are a fantastic way to make sure no child goes hungry at school. I've seen first-hand the positive impact they have on communities and young people here in Wrexham.
I'm proud that Wrexham is home to Kellogg's primary UK cereal production hub — and proud of the difference breakfast clubs make across the UK.
📷Photos from last year's Breakfast Awards, which I was honoured to host alongside the shortlisted schools (including Wrexham's very own Black Lane County Primary School.)
