Our Welsh NHS has been run by the Welsh Labour Government in Cardiff for 20 years. We must make sure that the extra £1.2 billion being provided by Boris Johnson’s government is spent on frontline health services in North Wales.

Like the majority of people in Clwyd South, I voted for Brexit. I support the Prime Minister’s great new deal. We must honour the result of the referendum, get Brexit done and move on to tackle the challenges facing our country.

It is vital we attend our local Library Consultation Meetings organised by Wrexham Council, as I did in Chirk on 17th October, and fill in the consultation form either in hard copy or online at: http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/consultati

I am campaigning in Clwyd South for better mobile signal and faster broadband speeds which are sub-standard in many parts of the constituency.

The Clwyd South Conservatives have been campaigning hard in a wide variety of wards including ones where the Welsh Conservatives are not incumbents such as Bryn Cefn, Llangollen Rural and the Ceiriog Valley.

UPDATE: 29th March 2016

Simon recently spoke at the Welsh Conservative conference in Llangollen, where he brought national attention to the HSBC closures in Chirk and Ruabon.
Simon has also recently sent out another update to all 700 banking survey respondents, informing them of recent developments between himself and HSBC.
In the update, Simon put's forward his analysis of those who returned the banking survey, which highlights to HSBC, the collective concerns such closures will have on our constituency.

A very big thank you to everyone who signed our petition to save consultant-led maternity services at Wrexham Maelor Hospital - your voices have been heard!We are delighted as well that there will be no downgrade of consultant-led maternity services elsewhere in the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board area.Our local campaign, led by Andrew Atkinson, shows that protection of the NHS is the number one priority for people in Clwyd South and elsewhere in Wales.

Simon Baynes (Prospective Welsh Conservative Assembly Member for Clwyd South) and local Councillor Paul Rogers are campaigning to re-establish a bus service between Brymbo and Wrexham via Lodge, after Arriva Buses Wales suddenly withdrew the service, leaving our local community without regular and reliable public transport . Many residents of all ages rely on regular services to access employment and healthcare. Simon and Paul both feel that residents in Lodge deserve a better bus service.

Had a very good morning speaking with residents of Clwyd South, while they were shopping in Wrexham, about the Welsh Conservative policy to freeze Council Tax. I was campaigning with Janet Howarth AM, Andrew Atkinson (Welsh Conservative Assembly Candidate for Wrexham) and Nathan Hughes.
