Deeply concerned to hear reports of a serious incident in Ammanford this afternoon.

Thoughts are with parents, teachers and staff at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman during this difficult time. Very grateful to emergency services and those responding on the scene.

We’ve been working overnight on the burst main by Brecon Road, Abergavenny. We’ve managed to restore some water supplies by using tankers and reconfiguring our local drinking water network. Some areas in the town may still be without water supplies as this repair continues.

I’m delighted to join the Politics Weekly page in Monmouthshire Beacon and The Abergavenny Chro this week and share news on what I am getting up to on the campaign trail.

The Conservatives crashed our economy, sent mortgage rates soaring and left families worse off.

That would never happen on my watch. I will always put family finances first.
