Transition Bro Gwaun's Question Time at St Mary’s Hall, Fishguard


North Pembrokeshire constituents will get a chance to quiz their prospective Members of Parliament this evening, thanks to Fishguard group, Transition Bro Gwaun.

A Question Time style event has been organized for 7.30pm at St Mary’s Hall, Fishguard.

The declared candidates for the Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency: Stephen Crabb MP (Conservative), Henry Jones-Davies (Plaid), and Mari Rees (Labour) will all attend. The Lib Dems will also send either a candidate or a representative.

The Question Master Canon Jeremy Martineau, who is well known for his work in the local community, will put questions from members of the public to all candidates. Questions can be submitted at Seaways Bookshop; West Wales Arts Centre; Goodwick post office; Newport Eco Centre and the Pebbles bookshop in St Davids.

Transition Bro Gwaun member Chris Samra said: ‘We feel that it is important that people have an opportunity to assess whether their next MP is able to cope with the big issues that will dominate the politics during the next five years and beyond, in particular peak oil and climate change.

"Are the current political and economic institutions up to the job? Come and find out what our would-be representatives think!’ Admission to the event is free but by ticket, which can also be obtained at the above outlets. For more information visit www.transitionbrogwaun.org.uk.

Stephen Crabbe says that 97% of workers currently working at the power station are local workers. I wonder if he will have the cheek to say the same about the 2000 workers about to descend on the Power Station? I would also like to ask him in case the 2000 jobs should go to EA nationals, and not to local people, despite his reassurances, what measures have been put in place to cater for these people and how does he think it will impact on the infrastructure of Pembroke? I would also like to point out that with the olympic project in London, a stipulation was that local unemployed had to be utilised before anyone else, yet recent figures show that it is actually only 4% of local people - and not those with just local postcodes - are actaully employed in this project. What is the Right honourable member doing about this situation? Because personally I have asked him all these questions and I dont even get the courtesy of a reply. Oh how I wish I had known about this meeting!
