FUW HOLDS HUSTINGS MEETING IN DELYN

The Farmers' Union of Wales' Flintshire branch has arranged a meeting at the Stamford Gate Hotel, Holywell, on Monday April 18 (starting at 7.30pm) for local farmers to meet the prospective candidates for the Delyn constituency of the four main political parties in the Welsh Assembly Elections on May 5.

The four candidates present will be: Mathew Wright (Conservative); Carrie Harper (Plaid Cymru); Sandy Mewies (Labour) and Michelle Jones (Lib Dem).

FUW's Flintshire county executive officer Marian Jones said: "We hope that this will be an opportunity for the candidates to present their policies for the election and it will be a chance for people to question and discuss various issues with the prospective candidates.

"This is an important meeting as it is the way in which the agricultural industry can ensure the candidates are made aware of the various situation which concern the rural areas, such as the agricultural industry, affordable housing, various services in rural areas, and the policies of the Local Government."
