City council leader has sights set on Senedd seat

THE leader of Swansea council is standing as a prospective member of the Senedd (MS) at next year’s elections and he’s likely to face keen competition from within Labour Party ranks.

Cllr Rob Stewart, pictured, said he believed he could offer a wealth of experience and a track record of getting things done.

West Cross councillor Rebecca Fogarty is also standing for the newly-created Gŵyr Abertawe constituency and, as a parent of two young children, said she felt young families needed more representation in the Senedd.

Voters from 16 large new constituencies in Wales will go to the polls next May to decide who will run the country.

However, instead of voting for a specific candidate, voters will vote for a party.
