Transport for Wales: Powys trains 'continue to be poor'
Russell George MS spoke out about the issues during a recent drop-in session, which was attended by representatives from Transport for Wales.
Mr George said the service in the area 'continues to be poor', citing trains being 'cancelled, delayed or overcrowded' on the Cambrian line between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth.
It comes after 300 people attended a session in Tywyn over rail services along the coastal section of the route.
Describing his interaction with Transport for Wales during the drop-in session, he said: 'Sadly, the rail service we receive in Montgomeryshire continues to be poor with trains regularly being cancelled, delayed, or overcrowded.
'I have been continually raising concerns about the performance of Transport for Wales on the Cambrian Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury line and have been seeking assurances over commitments made by Transport for Wales and the Welsh Government.
'These were some of the points raised at my meeting with Transport for Wales, along with Network Rail.'
A Transport for Wales spokesperson said: "We thank Mr George for attending our recent drop-in session at the Senedd and for raising his concerns.
'We value engagement with all our stakeholders and always look to address any issues raised as best we can to improve our customer experience."

Windrush hero trapped in limbo for 26 years finally allowed home to Britain
Windrush hero George Lee left Britain to teach in Poland for two years in 1997. When he tried to enter Britain, his visa was rejected. Now 26 years later, he's finally back home. When Windrush hero George Lee touched down at Birmingham Airport last week, it marked the end of 26 years in exile – and the close of yet another heartbreaking chapter in the Windrush Scandal. For 26 years, George has been trying to get back to the UK after going to teach in Poland for two years in 1997. When he left the country John Major was still Prime Minister, the country was reeling from 'mad cow disease' and Princess Diana was still alive. He has been unable to visit his mother or his brother's graves and has lost touch with his sisers. And he has never been able to access the state pension he is entitled to. "When you're in this position, every single morning when you wake up you have a wrench in your gut," he says, speaking for the first time about his ordeal. "No matter how long it went on I had that feeling. It's about belonging nowhere. There's nothing you can do about it – your constitutional and human rights have been stripped away and that leaves you vulnerable. I started adopting Theresa May's epithet that I was a citizen of nowhere." Born a Commonwealth citizen in Kingston Jamaica, George was brought to the 'mother country' at the age of eight by his aunt, to start a new life in London. George spent 36 years in the UK before he went to Poland. He went to school here, got into grammar school, set up his own business, got married and eventually became a teacher, all in Britain. But after heading to Poland in 1997, he found himself locked out. He was told he'd need a special visa to re-enter the UK but when he tried to get it from the British embassy in Krakow he was refused. Instead, George, now 72, spent the next 26 years stuck in Poland. George is one of many Windrush heroes campaigners now believe may be trapped in third countries by Tory 'hostile environment' policies that endure long after Theresa May's government. Uncovered in 2017, the Windrush Scandal saw thousands like George – members of the 'Windrush Generation' who came here to build Britain – wrongly detained, deported and denied legal rights. Trapped in Poland, George made repeated attempts to access support. It was only when a Windrush campaign group heard about his plight that he was able to get help raising his case with the British Home Office. With their support, last week he finally made it home to the UK. "From the moment they refused to allow me to come home to the UK, everything changed," he says. "It's dehumanising, because you create a situation where people can't easily get a home, get a job… when you're in a third country that is hostile, that's very difficult. My landlord was terrible. I didn't have utilities for three months. There is no legislation that shows I'm not a British citizen. When I was 18, I was so proud of Great Britain, I would never have believed that the British government would do this to me. The British government took away our rights." He moved to Poland to take up a two-year contract teaching at a private English language school. "I got offered a job that I couldn't refuse," he explains. "I did really well, and got seconded to a university. When I decided to come back, I'd gone slightly over the two years I'd planned to be away, so I was told to go and get a visa for my re-entry back to the UK. But I went to the British Embassy, and they would not let me in the building." Desperate, he travelled to another Polish city, Warsaw, to try there. "I went to Warsaw and it was the same. I tested it by trying embassies in other places…Prague, Switzerland. I realised that any British embassy you go to, as a Windrush person, you always meet a block. I feel that when the British government were planning the Immigration Act 1971, they made the decision that they were going to get black people out of the United Kingdom. "That is the root of the scandal." George gave up. "I was resigned for many, many years. I was stuck." When he read about the emerging Windrush scandal, George hoped it might help. "It was a real knock when the Windrush scandal broke and I went back to the British Embassy, but they wouldn't let me in," he says. "They sent a Polish person out to see me on the pavement." Then, last year, George made contact with Bishop Desmond Jaddoo – chair of the Windrush National Organisation – who spoke to the Home Office on his behalf and started compiling evidence of George's life in the UK. "We are only just discovering people in these third countries – there will be more Georges," Bishop Desmond says. "The Immigration Act allowed people from the Commonwealth to go in to Europe and work which many people did. The problem was that then their status was called into question." Bishop Desmond's team were able to gather his school records, national insurance number, old passport and marriage certificate to build his case. "We were able to map his life from the day he arrived in the UK to when he went to Poland," he says. "No-one had bothered to look at George's case." Once they were made aware, Bishop Jaddoo says the Home Office was helpful, arranging George's flight home, temporary accommodation and to transport his few possessions. And the Labour government say the tide is turning with the appointment of senior pastor Reverend Clive Foster MBE as the first Windrush Commissioner – to fulfil a manifesto commitment to achieve justice for victims. A Home Office spokesperson said: "It is longstanding policy not to comment on individual cases. However, when this government arrived a year ago, it pledged to do things differently. For 77 years, the Windrush community has made an immense contribution to our country, weaving a vital thread in the fabric of British society. We have made a longstanding commitment to ensure victims of the Home Office Windrush scandal are heard, justice is sped up, and that the compensation scheme is run effectively." Since landing on British soil in Birmingham last week, George has begun the process of trying to access his state pension, find a GP and look for his two sisters. He also plans to visit his mum and younger brother's graves in north London. "I just want to get settled and I want to join the fight for our rights," George says. "I don't now have to work any more – which means I can spend my time trying to help others."

Opinion: Powys County Council to blame for school's woes
It's summer! School holidays, seaside day trips, harvest time and of course a local show every weekend for everyone to enjoy. Local shows do offer an affordable family day out in comparison to the Royal Welsh Show, but the Royal Welsh is like no other show, Wales at its best, and it plays a huge role in the promotion of the farming and food sector in Wales. For those that attend, they would not have been left in any doubt about the quality of food and drink produced here in Wales. Every farmer I speak to, their number one priority is to produce food for our nation, but it is getting more difficult every day, UK and Welsh governments appear to have different priorities. The long awaited 'new' sustainable farming scheme still forces farmers to plant trees; it will lead to real terms cuts in funding and there was not one mention of food security in the latest draft of this policy. Welsh Government through legislation distort priorities, it adds to red tape that will see food production fall here in Wales, we will become ever more reliant on imports at a time when the cost of feeding our families is increasing, and I haven't even mentioned UK Labour's Government Family Farm Tax. Farmers want to farm, they love their farms but are seeing their business suffocated by Welsh Government, the same is true for many small businesses across mid Wales they want the freedom to do what they do best. Small and medium sized business are the backbone to the local economy. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, in County Hall, the wheels are falling off the Liberal Democrat/Labour run Council. The Cabinet's incoherent transformation programme and refusal to properly fund education has led to one of the best schools going into special measures. However, there is a little bit of good news, the Cabinet conceded that their home to school transport policy is simply not good enough and needs to be changed, but Welsh Government legislation makes the process of change slow. Therefore, I was pleased to gain a commitment to help support parental choice through the appeals process, to over come the difficulties of the Council's newly introduced Home to School transport policy. Hopefully readers will be able to attend their local show.

Farmers Union of Wales reacts to this years Royal Welsh Show
This year's Royal Welsh Show was a resounding success once again for the FUW Group. The Pavilion was a hive of activity throughout the week, welcoming members, the public, politicians and policymakers to discuss the many changes and challenges facing Welsh agriculture. A key highlight of the week was the launch of the Union's 'A Mandate for Future Farmers' report, outlining the FUW's vision for increasing opportunities for young farmers and new entrants in Wales. A well-attended launch, chaired by the FUW's Policy Officer, Teleri Fielden, gave 3 young farmers an opportunity to share their own experiences of farming. Meanwhile representatives from Farming Connect and Wales YFC also gave further insight into some of the opportunities and challenges facing new entrants and young farmers. As the dust continues to settle following the launch of the Sustainable Farming Scheme, Monday saw a jam-packed seminar on the subject, providing members and the public with the opportunity to question the Welsh Government on elements of the SFS, and what it means for their own businesses. Wednesday morning also provided an opportunity to delve into the Welsh Government's new Ffermio Bro agri-environment scheme, exploring its potential to support farmers within Wales' National Parks and Designated Landscapes. Beyond policy discussions the week also provided an opportunity for celebration, with the FUW marking its 70th birthday. A panel discussion was held on Wednesday to mark the occasion, bringing together Glyn Roberts, Huw Jones, Ann Davies MP and Tom Jones. Chaired by Dei Tomos, this provided the panellists and the audience with the opportunity to reminisce and reflect on seventy years of the FUW. Throughout the week the FUW Presidential team and policy officers met with a wide range of politicians from all political parties, ensuring the voice and concerns of members were heard loud and clear. These included First Minister, Eluned Morgan MS, Deputy First Minister, Huw Irranca Davies MS, UK Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, Dame Nia Griffith MP, and several Plaid Cymru MPs and MS'. As well as responding to a steady stream of interview bids from the media on everything from the SFS to Agricultural Property Relief, mental health to the India Trade Deal, there was also an opportunity for some entertainment too, with Bwncath's Tuesday night gig a sell-out once again. A successful Presidential Reception was also held, rewarding Glyn Roberts, John Owen and Alun Elidyr for their huge contributions to Welsh agriculture. Thanks to everyone who called by our pavilion this year, and made the Show a resounding success once again. We look forward to continuing our stream of county shows across Wales over the coming weeks.
