Wales goes to the vote in May this year (Covid permitting) so each month I will continue to highlight the many achievements of the Labour led Senedd (formerly the Welsh Assembly). And l’ll start by letting everyone know that 16 and 17-year-olds will be able to vote. Also the Senedd is are currently legislating for this to apply to voting in council elections. This month looks at ENVIRONMENT & HOUSING :
Wales was the first country in the UK to introduce:
> 5p charge for single-use carrier bags
> A ban on smoking in cars carrying children
> A ban on smoking in hospital grounds, school grounds and playgrounds
and
> Fracking has been banned in Wales
> Wales has legislated for sprinklers in all new homes
> The Right to Buy policy has been abolished in Wales.
