Welsh Labour Party: 10/04/2012 Party Election Broadcasts

Oh, the Budget, that wasn't popular at all.

I'm afraid we're going to have a lost generation.

I've experienced it once in the '80s,

and I can see it coming again,

in fact, probably a lot worse than it was even then.

Big challenges in the Valleys in particular.

We're still living with the outcome of the closure of the mines

and populations of people who are unemployed,

and I think local Labour councillors are very aware of that.

The Budget certainly didn't help families, not one little bit.

Things are getting worse.

In fact, it's getting harder every day for them.

What with the cost of living rising,

major factor in getting people to work, children to school,

running your daily lives.

The Labour Assembly has put its money where its mouth is

and really come out in support

of early years and further and higher education.

And I'm very proud to be a citizen of Wales and Cardiff.

The police cuts are not helping.

People are extremely worried about their safety on the streets.

When Labour were in power,

they made sure that they invested in the police

and they invested in bobbies on the beat.

I don't think we should underestimate

just how important free bus passes are.

It's not just about travelling from A to B,

but it's about encouraging people to get out

and socialise and meet people.

The council play an enormous part in keeping our streets clean,

what with the street cleansing teams and the refuse collection,

which is all done regularly.

Well, May 3rd are council elections,

and it's your golden opportunity to come and vote Labour.

The Tories and the Lib Dems are really letting us all down.

So I would say, May 3rd, vote Labour.
