The First Minister Carwyn Jones will be visiting Caerphilly as part of his Wales-spanning tour to meet local residents on the issues which affect them.

The so-called Carwyn Connect event will be held in Ysgol y Gwyndy, Caerphilly, between 6pm and 7.30pm on Thursday November 17, and residents will be able to question the First Minister on issues of their choice.

Mr Jones said: “Over the past year, I have travelled across the country to hear the views of local communities and answer the burning questions of the people of Wales.

“I am pleased to announce the next event will take place in Caerphilly, with further sessions to follow in the New Year.

“I want to see as many people as possible at the event, so if you have a question for me, want to raise issues affecting your community or have a great idea to make your home town a better place to live, come along to the event.

“A wide variety of topics have come up in previous events – from questions about hyper local issues, to discussions about broad Government policy.

“I am confident this will be the case in Caerphilly too.

“This is your chance to meet and speak with me in person. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all.”

Questions can be submitted prior to the event or on the day when the venue doors open at 5.30pm.

They can be sent in advance via email, to cabinetcommunications@wales.gsi.gov.uk, or on Twitter to @fmwales, using the hashtage #carwynconnect.

Residents are encouraged to register their interest in the free event online at goo.gl/exuo4B.

Tea and coffee is available on the night, as well as simultaneous translations should residents wish to ask questions in Welsh.

The venue address is Ysgol y Gwyndy, Pontygwindy Road, Caerphilly, CF83 3HG.

    I have a feeling that this wil be a carefully managed event and anyone thinking they can ask questions that are not on the script will be disappointed.

      Nothing to do with Caerphilly but I’d like ask Mr Jones why Cardiff are renting an artificial Christmas tree from a company in Blackburn which is being shipped from China? A really good example of sustainability and supporting the Welsh economy that one.

        I really don’t think that question would get through the moderators Paul. Nor would any question I would be likely to ask.
