🚨 The Treasury is threatening our national parks. Dartmoor, the Lake District & wild places could be bulldozed for development. Once gone, they're gone for ever. Join me and sign now to protect them:

Dydd Gwener, ges i a Liz Saville Roberts AS gyfarfod ag Avanti yng ngorsaf Caergybi i drafod materion rydych chi wedi dod i fy sylw:

• Dibynadwyedd yr amserlenni a chysylltiadau
• Y gwasanaethau i Gaergybi
• Trafferthion efo’r system tocynnau a rhagarchebu seti
• Pwysigrwydd cyfleoedd datblygu gyrfa i staff lleol

Mae gwasanaethau trên dibynadwy yn hanfodol i addysg, gwaith a bywyd cymdeithasol ar yr ynys, ond mae teithwyr yn aml yn teimlo’n rhwystredig oherwydd oedi, problemau amserlen a chysylltiadau gwael.

Cefais gyfle hefyd i ganmol y staff gwych yng Nghaergybi sy’n sicrhau y gorau i’r teithwyr er yr heriau sydd tu allan i’w rheolaeth.

Fel is-gadeirydd APPG Prif Linell Arfordir y Gorllewin, byddaf yn parhau i sicrhau nad yw cwmnïau trenau yn anwybyddu ein cymunedau.

On Friday, Liz Saville Roberts MP and I had a meeting with at Holyhead station to discuss issues you have brought to my attention:

• Reliability of timetables and connections
• The services to Holyhead
• Problems with the ticket system and pre-booking seats
• The importance of career development opportunities for local staff

Reliable train services are essential to education, work and social life on the island, but passengers are often frustrated by delays, timetable problems and poor connections.

I also had the opportunity to praise the wonderful staff in Holyhead who ensure the best for the passengers despite the challenges that are beyond their control.

As vice-chair of the West Coast Main Line APPG, I will continue to ensure that train companies do not ignore our communities.

⁉️UPDATE - Dalton Mills

Following the latest fire at Dalton Mills, I organised a meeting this evening with residents and businesses living and operating directly next to the site, and invited our fire and emergency services, police and Bradford Council representatives to talk through and listen to ongoing concerns surrounding safety of the site, continued arson attacks and next steps.

The emergency services message was clear. This cannot go on.

At the height of the latest blaze, more than 20 fire engines were called out. I can’t thank our emergency services enough for their bravery - but they should not be forced to keep fighting fire after fire at a site which is being accessed by arsonists, diverting resources elsewhere.

The site is now incredibly unsafe - and incredibly dangerous for anyone to access, including our emergency services should they need to take access again.

Whilst the site, currently held by the Crown Estate is in the process of being sold - we must ensure that Dalton Mills is as best protected and preserved as possible with its full conservation status - and that means making the site as secure as possible.

Bradford Council have statutory powers to secure this site and I have written to both the Chief Executive and the Leader of Bradford Council underlining this and urging them to act now before it is too late.

Nearly a month on from the letter I sent to them both on this issue - I am yet to receive a reply. I have still had no response.

After THIRTY-TWO fires, and many years of the site being allowed to decay - what will it take to keep our heritage asset secure and preserved?

Dalton Mills is one of Keighley’s most iconic buildings and it has been recklessly abandoned.

Neighbouring residents of the site quite rightly made their views clearly known this evening - and I stand by them and you all.

I will continue to raise this case with the Crown Estate and those who have statutory powers including Bradford Council - until Dalton Mill’s future is secure.

It is clear the status quo simply cannot continue.

Huge thanks to all those neighbours of the site who attended this evening.
