1. Questions to the First Minister: Full Fibre Broadband ( 9 Nov 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: In order for the future of the port of Holyhead to flourish, good communications infrastructure based on fibre broadband will be needed in order to meet demand. I have been contacted by FibreSpeed, who already have installed a point of presence close to where the proposed customs and excise building is to be built. I've been told their technology could help frictionless transport of goods and...

7. Welsh Conservatives Debate: A green recovery ( 3 Nov 2021)

This dedication to making real change has been seen...

4. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Engagement with Schools in North Wales (20 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: Thank you for that answer. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting schools across north Wales virtually and hearing the issues that are important to them. I have been contacted by the parent of a child in Ysgol Bryn Coch in Mold, who is disappointed that the child will be unable to visit the Senedd for an education visit in person during a school trip to Cardiff. I believe they fit it in with...

3. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on the Metro (20 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: Post COVID, we need to encourage people to come back to using public transport as well. So, would you, Deputy Minister, make funding available for local authorities to be able to invest in properly advertising the metro, advertising timetables for buses and what's available for people, so they can gain confidence in using public transport again? Thank you.  

3. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on the Metro (20 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: Yes, this is it: so, I'm asking can we have metro signage so people will understand the investment made in park and ride, the cycle links—how they all link together—investment in stations as well. I think that's really important. And, also, post COVID—

3. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: Update on the Metro (20 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: As a previous cabinet member for Flintshire, I'd like to say that the Welsh Government has made huge investment in the north Wales metro, providing £17 million of funding to local authorities over the last year alone, and I've seen investment in cycle lanes, park and ride, electric buses, right across the region of north Wales. We've also put—. I know Flintshire's also put in a bid for the...

5. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Nature, biodiversity and local places for nature (12 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: —is leading the way in tackling biodiversity loss. But I was concerned to hear that two of the three scientists I met would see their funding cut, one in March and one in June next year, because it comes from the European agricultural fund, which comes to an end. Does the Minister agree with me that the funding announced today shows Welsh Government's commitment, which is great, but concern...

5. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Nature, biodiversity and local places for nature (12 Oct 2021)

Carolyn Thomas: I really welcome today's funding announcement. Across the UK, we've seen a 44 per cent decline of 770 species as a result of habitat loss and environmental challenges. The nature networks fund demonstrates quite clearly that the Welsh Government is leading the way in tackling the biodiversity and nature crisis we face. The climate emergency and nature crisis need to be treated with the same...

I know many people in the local area are excited at the prospect of this designation, which will provide recognition of the park's unique natural beauty and heritage. It will provide a boost to manage tourism and help to create sustainable jobs. In 2000, the Scottish Labour Government introduced a National Parks (Scotland) Act of just 41 pages, which was a...

Carolyn Thomas: As a Flintshire councillor, and previous streetscene and highways cabinet member, and also a member of the committee you mentioned earlier, I'm aware of the significant funding across the region—metro funding.

8. Debate: Devolution of New Tax Powers ( 5 Oct 2021)

The brownfield sites cause issues then for the local community. Some have dangerous buildings, unkept trees and fencing adjacent to the highways and private properties. Run-off of water and contamination to highway drains make a...

We are facing a mental health crisis, and Members on all sides know that we simply...
