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.

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.
