@RCTCouncil and @WelshLGA Leader @AndrewMorganRCT didn't hold back when asked this week what Councils in Wales were doing to lobby UK Government...

Looking to keep the kids entertained after school? We have two family fun sessions on weekday afternoons – all three pools are open and the inflatables are out. https://t.co/SyvfLc2wpq

The FT comes out in support for Labour. Comes on the heels of Sunday Times endorsement today and Guardian on Friday

£1.4B wasted on just 1 PPE contract, at the same time we have to cut services to make council budgets add up 😡

Out in Penrhiwceiber this evening with @CllrWilliams delivering leaflets for @AlexDaviesJones 🌹

The new larger Pontypridd constituency now includes lower Cynon Valley from Mountain Ash south.

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

Honoured to have been re-elected as Leader of RCT Council at this evenings AGM

32 years ago I started as a council apprentice, 20 years ago I was first elected a councillor & 10 years since becoming Leader of RCT

I’m extremely grateful for the support of colleagues & residents!

[Welsh Labour @WelshLabour]

Tomorrow, voters across Wales head to the polls to elect Police and Crime Commissioners.

These elections are your chance to vote for safer streets, for all of us.

From 7am until 10pm, cast your vote for Welsh Labour.

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

The UK Government budget is on Wednesday 6th March, there is talk of tax cuts again before election

Would you rather see public services such as NHS, Social Care, Schools & Transport given more funding or see Tax Cuts?

Please vote & share to get feel for what public priority is

[Trafnidiaeth Cymru / Transport for Wales @transport_wales]

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

Really good move, increasing the Sixth Form Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) to £40 per week. The difference with England where the EMA was scrapped by the Tories years ago!

Sums up todays budget ⬇️

[Jeremy Miles @Jeremy_Miles]

This Tory budget has dodged the changes we desperately need.

Fails to invest in the economy, doesn’t protect our public services or support the workforce, and will worry struggling households at a time when they need reassurance.

We have had enough of Tory tinkering, we need proper change now with a @uklabour government.

[RCT Council @RCTCouncil]

Gritting lorries with ploughs have worked on mountain roads overnight, but due to heavy snow now falling mountain roads are unsafe to travel. Due to current conditions we are withdrawing snow ploughs from mountain roads and will attempt to reopen them later subject to conditions.

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

The Council has made Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water (DCWW) aware of this incident near Treforest. It appears that a DCWW main sewer has broken in the river. DCWW have attended the site today and are looking to take action as this appears to be a serious incident with foul sewerage.

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

While school capital funding has been cut over the years by successive Tory Governments in England, here in Wales we have the largest school building programme ever.

At least 39 schools closed in last three years in England due to unsafe buildings https://t.co/69D5Bso3T5

[WLGA @WelshLGA]

The WLGA supports @MartinSLewis' call to postpone 20% energy price hikes in April, and prevent millions more from falling into fuel poverty.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Over the last week, energy giants have announced extraordinary, record profits.

But the government won't follow Labour’s call and introduce a proper windfall tax to keep bills down.

They won't solve the cost of living crisis, because they are the cost of living crisis.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

It’s yet another day of enormous profits at an energy giant, the windfalls of war, coming out of the pockets of the British people

What is outrageous is that as energy giants rake in these sums, Rishi Sunak still refuses to bring in a proper windfall tax

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Today we remember the six million Jewish people murdered in the Second World War and genocides since.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

Local leaders are forced to waste tens of millions of pounds taking part in the government’s Hunger Games-style beauty contest for levelling up funds, and most end up getting nothing back.

It’s time to end this absurd system.
