Wildfire update for Torfaen

The recent fires across South Wales have understandably caused concern for residents.

Cllr Anthony Hunt and councillors across affected areas have been working closely with residents, council teams and partner organisations as the situation develops.

Cllr Steve Evans has also reported a fire at the Birches in Upper Cwmbran, where he has been speaking with local residents. It is another reminder of why everyone needs to remain vigilant and follow the advice of South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

Our thanks go to the firefighters working in extremely difficult conditions, and to council staff, farmers, emergency services and everyone else supporting the response. Nick Thomas-Symonds and Lynne Neagle visited firefighters and farmers on the frontline to give their personal thanks.

Please do not light fires or take part in activities that could create a fire risk. If you see a new active fire, call 999.

We understand that people want to know what is happening, particularly when incidents are close to home. Please take care with information shared online and check that updates come from reliable, official sources. At times, information may not be available immediately for operational reasons while emergency services are responding.

Thank you to everyone helping to keep our communities safe.

The message is consistent - more is needed for schools and children with additional learning needs.

We'll keep the pressure on Plaid Cymru until they deliver the support needed.

Opening yesterday's Council meeting, Council Leader Anthony Hunt paid tribute to three people who had passed away.

Former Councillor Stuart Cameron was fondly remembered for his service to Torfaen, first as an officer and later as an elected member.

Anthony then paid tribute to Chris Preston, husband of former Councillor Kelly Preston, following his death after a brave two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Anthony also reflected and expressed his sorrow at the passing of former MP Ann Widdecombe.

The entire council then stood together for a moment’s silence. Our thoughts are with the families, friends and loved ones of all those remembered.

Thank you to everyone who supported Sean Wharton and our campaign in the Llantarnam by-election.

While we're disappointed not to have won this election, Labour once again finished as the clear second choice in Llantarnam, confirming that Labour remains the strongest alternative to Reform locally.

The result also highlights how a divided progressive vote can allow Reform to come through the middle, despite a majority of voters backing parties from the centre and left.

We want to place on record our huge thanks to Sean. Throughout this campaign he demonstrated exactly why so many people hold him in such high regard. Sean has spent years giving back to our community through football, fostering, business and voluntary work, and Llantarnam would have had an outstanding, hardworking local councillor.

Thank you too to every volunteer, campaigner, supporter and resident who backed Sean, knocked doors, delivered leaflets, shared messages online and spoke up for our campaign. Your support has been incredible.

Llantarnam residents deserve councillors who work hard, listen and deliver. We will continue holding Reform to account and standing up for local people every step of the way.

This campaign may be over, but our work for Llantarnam and Torfaen continues.

The support for Sean Wharton keeps growing.

Here's what community organiser Gareth Wilde had to say about Sean's campaign for Llantarnam:

"Sean is one of the best communicators I have heard in a long time. Whilst he speaks passionately about racial justice and inclusivity, he also has a unique ability to inspire confidence and motivate others to achieve their goals through teamwork and community spirit.

I wholeheartedly endorse Sean for councillor in Llantarnam and encourage everyone to vote for him on Thursday 2 July."
