St Mair’s Day Centre in Aberdare recently hosted a “Question Time” with a difference, as Cynon Valley AM Christine Chapman met with the Cynon Valley Area Executive Committee of the National Old Age Pensioners Association of Wales.
Mrs Chapman was quizzed by members, who asked the local AM questions on a range of topics from the health services to public transport. Mrs Chapman said “I was glad to attend the meeting, and thoroughly enjoyed the lively debate it allowed me to have with local residents”.
The Cynon Valley AM attended the meeting on Friday 2 March after being invited by Area Secretary John Davies, and took questions from the members assembled. The Area Committee is the local body overseeing branches of the Association, established in 1939, based in the Cynon Valley.
Speaking after the meeting, Mrs Chapman said: “We know we have an aging population, and the National Old Age Pensioners Association of Wales does excellent work in representing its members. I am keen to work closely with the local group, and pay tribute to their sterling work”.
Area Secretary John Davies said: “Members were delighted with the way Christine dealt with a very broad range of questions which had concerned them. We look forward to having her visit again soon”.
