An independent inquiry into the Storm Dennis floods, publishing all information relating to the safety of coal tips, a review of the council’s super schools programme and speeding up the provision of electric vehicle charging points. These are some of the priorities Plaid Cymru has set out for Rhondda Cynon Taf as we approach the council elections next month.
The party’s manifesto contains its commitments on things like climate change, housing, education, coal tips and more before the poll on May 5 to elect councillors. Plaid, which ran RCT Council between 1999 and 2004, has been the second largest group in the chamber and main opposition group going into the election.
On responding to the climate and biodiversity emergency, the Plaid manifesto says it supports the commitment made by RCT Council to become a carbon neutral council by 2030. It says a Plaid Cymru-run council would invest in green spaces, especially in town centres and communities, increase monitoring of air pollution levels and act accordingly to reduce pollution levels where they are highest.
