Plaid Cymru Mid and West AM Simon Thomas will hold a town hall type meeting where members of the public can question him on his plans for the local economy.

The event will review the campaign to bring an end to the Cleddau Bridge tolls.

The ’Question and Answer’ session takes place on Thursday (November 12) at Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock at 6 pm.

Party of Wales AM Simon Thomas said: “The focus of the meeting is to discuss the economy, jobs and the progress of the campaign to scrap the tolls on the Cleddau Bridge. It is important for Assembly Members to listen to local concerns.

“Over the last few months I’ve been discussing with people in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire how we can improve the local economy. Plaid Cymru in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire is calling on the Welsh Government to take over responsibility for the Cleddau Bridge and bring to an end these tolls. It is an extra burden for business and the communities around the bridge.

“Following questions by Plaid Cymru in the National Assembly I’m pleased that the Economy Minister will look carefully at scrapping the tolls. I’ll be able to update people at the meeting about the progress and outline the next steps of our campaign.”

Simon Thomas is the Party of Wales candidate for the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire seat next May.
