Plaid praise for residents

PLAID Cymru councillors in Carmarthenshire have praised residents for respecting lockdown rules in the fight to control the coronavirus and protect the NHS.

The party has also thanked thousands of its staff and community volunteers for going the extra mile to ensure that families are fed, the elderly cared for and grants speedily processed to help keep local businesses solvent.

“While some powerful people have used the excuse of ‘following their instincts’ to justify breaking the lockdown, ordinary people have fought every instinct in their body by staying away from the bedside of ill and dying relatives, not attending the funerals of friends, not seeing family members, and keeping away from beauty spots during the glorious weather,” said Council Leader Cllr Emlyn Dole.
