Owen Meredith – the Conservative candidate for May’s Assembly election has formally launched his campaign.
Speaking at the launch, Rudry-born Meredith said: “On May 5, people in Caerphilly have a real choice. A choice between the same old failed politics or taking the chance for a positive change and a new direction.
“Since my selection, I have been listening to Caerphilly and have heard that call for change. I know that you are frustrated by petty party political squabbles and politicians investing their energy in doing each other down, rather than solving problems Caerphilly faces.
“I share that frustration. That is why I have spent this campaign listening to you and have set out my vision for A positive change for the future of Caerphilly – a future where we work together to make Caerphilly a better place to live, to work and to visit for everyone.
“That is what I am standing for in this election.”
