Welsh Parliament
Half of families in temporary accommodation have been trapped there for more than six months. Today we're at the Senedd, handing in our open letter - which has been signed by more than 1,000 people - calling on the First Minister to prioritise tackling the housing emergency.

It's worth keeping in mind that every day those in the blue light services put themselves at risk to keep others safe.

Can't wait for #RIAT.
It is going to be such an interesting mix of aircraft both on the ground and in the air.
Will it be an order for new aircraft or just a switch of options from the F-35B to F-35A instead?

Without knowing the details of Ceredigion Council IT systems. I am left scratch my head.
Is putting uncertainty on so many households and running the risk that some vulnerable people could slip through the net really worth it?
Is there no other way than to close the list and make people reapply?
Just one question. What day is fathers day?
Classic radio. 😆
Braunton Burrows Training Area, offering amphibious training past, present, and future.
The combination of Braunton Burrows, Instow, and Chivenor Airfield plus with the air and sea space around them means #NorthDevon is a very useful training location.
We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.
