No. —for this Labour Government. All we hear about from the Labour side are the awful Conservative cuts from London. Granted—I agree. But, what about scandals like the Lisvane land deal where you’ve wasted £38 million in one single deal or the sale of two shops at a loss of £1 million to the taxpayer?

We need to keep our streets clean in Wales, but, again, if you look at Cardiff, what have they done? They’ve cut services. You see rubbish strewn around our capital city and in an attempt to increase recycling, they’ve closed recycling centres. Now, there is a bit of an irony there: we had a referendum in one part of Cardiff and 1,869 people voted to reopen the most popular recycling centre in Cardiff at Waungron Road. There were four against. So, in terms of figures, it was 100 per cent, when you round it up, who wanted to reopen the centre. But all those views were completely ignored by a Labour council.

We move on to salaries: there’s a £22,000 difference in chief executive salaries in Plaid councils and in Labour councils. If I think of my experience as deputy leader across the road in 2008-12, the first thing that we did was freeze councillor allowances. We also attacked the unproductive bureaucracy and cut many salaries over £100,000 a year, and we were saving in the region of £5 million a year after that process. In 2012, what did Labour do? They brought back the huge, heavy, expensive tier of management. They brought all of those salaries back, over £120,000 a year, which equated to a massive wage bill, paid for by the workers at the lower end of the scale because, again, Labour do a very good line in irony in Cardiff: they introduce a living wage and then they cut the hours of the lowest paid people in the organisation who are then worse off as a result.

Let’s talk about local development plans in Wales because they simply do not work. There are 22 of them or there will be 22 of them and none of them are joined up—none of them. If we look at the local development plan in Cardiff, we’re going to lose virtually every greenfield site in the west of the city, if Labour are re-elected tomorrow. We’re going to lose ancient woodlands, species of animals, insects and amphibians. It will all go under concrete, put there by developers making billions of pounds from this region.

The traffic chaos that we have already is something to behold. When I leave my house, if I’m in the Canton office in the morning, I don’t get the bus; I walk from Fairwater to Ely bridge because it’s quicker—I walk quicker than the bus at peak time—and I catch a bus from Ely bridge into Canton, and that says it all, really, that the roads are already jammed. What Labour is proposing in Cardiff is 10,000 extra cars every single day on the roads of the west of the city. No new roads, no infrastructure, no plan for investment in public transport—absolute madness, which Cardiff Plaid aims to stop tomorrow if we win the election, or perhaps when we win the election, and begin to revoke the local development plan.

We want to solve the housing crisis in Wales. We want to solve the housing crisis all over this central region, and in Cardiff, by renovating empty properties—thousands of empty properties across South Wales Central. We can employ local builders to do so and we could house people very quickly. There are plenty of brownfield sites to build on. Instead, this developer-led madness—absolute madness—will ruin our countryside and bring ‘carmageddon’ to the streets of this region.

Tomorrow the people will be voting on these issues up and down Wales, and I’m pretty sure that Labour will get its answer and the good people of Wales will stand up and get it done. Diolch yn fawr—thank you.
