Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood visited the Amman Valley this week to set out a radical agenda for ensuring that “decisions affecting Wales are made in Wales.”

Leanne spoke at a public meeting in Penybanc Rugby Club on Thursday to outline these ideas and hear from people in the area about their aspirations for the Amman Valley, Carmarthenshire and Wales.

The Plaid leader said: "I want people throughout Wales to consider how we can lift up our country by taking responsibility for our own affairs and our own lives, and on how we can start a debate in Wales about ending our dependence on others.

"Decisions about Wales should be made in Wales. Self-determination means that we should choose which powers we want to share with other countries or with Europe.

"We want to see more powers devolved within Wales to ensure places like the Amman Valley and Carmarthenshire see the benefits.

"It means ensuring that the poorest areas of the country can benefit from a sustainable regional approach to economic development.

"This is about levelling up and treating geographic inequality as a problem to be tackled in the same way as other inequalities.

"For my party, it means we would legislate to ensure that legal safeguards were in place to fairly share public investment across the country, leaving no community behind.”
