This election is all about the future, our children's future.

The Liberal Democrats present a solid determination that we will have a future that is fair, a future that is Green: A Fair Green Future.

The Lib Dems will make our healthcare service a top priority too. We see some of the worst ambulance response times in Monmouthshire.

We will make sure that services at the Royal Gwent and Neville Hall hospitals are unchanged until we have ensured more local services in Chepstow and Monmouth.

We will tackle as an immediate priority the clogging-up of accident and emergency departments.

We have all seen the pictures of ambulances stacked up outside hospitals and none left to answer 999 emergency calls.

I am determined this is brought to an end.

Welsh Liberal Democrats will establish 24 hour walk-in centres staffed by medical professionals to take the burden and demand away from emergency departments.

We will ensure fast response paramedic staff get to the patient to asses and treat ready for an ambulance to arrive.

We want the best future for our children. Smaller class sizes mean more attention from a teacher.

We want everyone to feel safe on our street. So, instead of spending billions on Labour's Big Brother ID Database, we will invest the money in a visible police presence. It's simple: more bobbies on the beat mean less crime and anti-social behaviour in the first place.

Some issues are bigger than Monmouthshire, bigger than Wales: the moral issue of our time is climate change and global warming.

We will harness the tidal power of the Severn estuary with tidal lagoons and stop the need for new nuclear power stations.

The Lib Dems will take a global lead and aim high: 100 per cent renewable energy for Wales by 2050.

We will help local councils realise our ambitious target of a waste free Wales. This way we can stop Conservative Monmouthshire Council cancelling the roll-out of recycling schemes.

On the borders of Wales, here in Monmouthshire, we've had a pretty bad deal from the Labour Assembly Government.

For a fair, green future and for a team of people ready with the ideas and determination to see a better Monmouthshire, voting for the Liberal Democrat on both ballot papers will deliver the very best future: Fair and Green.
