WELSH First Minister Carwyn Jones is to hold a question-and-answer session for the public in Brecon.

The Welsh Labour leader’s Carwyn Connect event at Theatr Brycheiniog on Thursday, October 12 is intended to give Powys residents the opportunity to meet the First Minister and ask him questions on any issues which affect them or their local community.

He said: “Over the past two years, I have travelled the length and breadth of Wales to hear the views of local communities and answer people’s questions.

“I am pleased to announce the next event will take place in Brecon. I would like to see as many people as possible at Theatr Brycheiniog, 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, please come along.”

The session will take place between 6pm and 7.30pm.
