Lobbying WAG over the poor financial settlement –

Cllr Clair Powell, Mick Bates AM, Kirsty Williams AM and Cllr William Powell.

Yesterday I joined the Powys Against Cuts in Education Group (PACE) to lobby the Welsh Assembly Goverment over the latest poor settlement that the authority has received. The lobby was timed to coincide with the budget debate that took place in the Assembly.

PACE are concerned that the poor 1.5% settlement may lead to cuts in the education budget.

I welcomed the opportunity to lobby the Welsh Assembly Government for the vital funding for education in Powys.  Our children cannot loose out because the WAG has negotiated a bad settlement from Westminster and is passing this onto local authorities.
