This week, I met with #Bridgend County Borough Officers about the Local Development Plan consultation.

🏡This will impact future planning and development for #housing, transport, schools, green spaces and more!

Contact the team [email protected] or 01656 643633 with queries.

🙏 @johnspans first ever visit as our new Mayor this week had to be to thank some of our brilliant local volunteers during #VolunteersWeek.

🌟 If you ever want a morale booster meet the fantastic young volunteers Joel and Teegan, part of the Bridge Mentoring Plus Scheme.

@Dhanisha222 Not sure about the 100 years bit???

[Sarah Murphy MS @sarah4bridgend]

Thank you, Jessica for creating @MarkDrakeford and I in Lego!

Your Dad tells me you’ve been very engaged with our #Senedd election campaign here in #Bridgend and that is music to my ears!

You are our future and I intend to ensure your voice is heard. Hope to meet you soon! 😄

[Sarah Murphy MS @sarah4bridgend]

☀️ Delighted that the sun has come out for polling day and to be out on the doorstep with Councillor @johnspans!

After 35 years of deregulated buses in Greater Manchester ...

35 years of rising fares and routes being cut ...

We are bringing our buses back under public control. 👍🏻

Strewth! An independent-led council serving its constituents I see 🤦🏻‍♀️

[John Spanswick @johnspans]

@aitch131 So I take it you are saying you would prefer me to be dead. I don't know who you think you are, but this is clearly a matter for the police to investigate further.

[Sarah Murphy MS @sarah4bridgend]

Community engagement about local services is vital, so I'm thrilled this is happening for Glanrhyd Church & Hospital in Pen Y Fai, #Bridgend. Lots of excellent #mentalhealth orgs and local charities invovled, this is a great opportunity to get involved: https://t.co/3bbZJtLziP

[Sarah Murphy MS @sarah4bridgend]

Thanks @Eluned_Morgan and everyone who joined @huw4ogmore and I for our live #MentalHealth talk last night.

We covered provision, resources, access & heard from incredible community champions, workers & advocates. Tagged you all!

[Cllr Andrew Morgan OBE @AndrewMorganRCT]

Really pleased that today, the councils planning committee have approved an application for Zipworld’s Coaster-kart. This is the second attraction they plan to bring to RCT. Huge boost for future tourism and adventure seeking visitors!

[Huw J David @HuwJDavidCC]

@rupert41 @bridiesedgebeer @CllrJPB @PhilipWh2 @DrCharlesSmith @Dhanisha222 @sarah4bridgend @JaneGebbie68 @hyweldolau @BridgendYLabour Ian Williams perhaps you could clarify your statement about asking Brackla residents who are trying to Save Our Fields. I think you will find there is nothing misleading from me as a long serving Labour councillor, but there is definitely some political stirring going on by you

[Dhanisha Patel @Dhanisha222]

It was a very hot afternoon well spent @johnspans
