“We need to understand the circumstances to prevent it from happening again” – Sioned Williams MS and Luke Fletcher MS
In a joint statement responding to the violence and disorder seen in Mayhill last night, newly-elected Plaid Cymru Members of the Senedd for South Wales West Sioned Williams and Luke Fletcher said,
“The violence and disorder seen in Mayhill last night was unacceptable and shocking. Our thoughts are with all those who bore the brunt of the awful events that took place.
“As Plaid Cymru members of the Senedd for South Wales West, we will be making representations to South Wales Police to ensure they responded promptly and effectively to protect the public and prevent the criminal and intimidating behaviour.
“We will also be pressing to ensure effective co-operation between police officers and the communities they serve – it is vital that people feel safe, that there is a shared view on issues and tensions before things can escalate.
“We need to understand the circumstances of what led to such horrific scenes to prevent it from happening again. People should feel safe in their communities.
