I do not believe that 36 more Senedd members are value for tax payers money. In Wales, with a population of 3136 million (including children), more Senedd members are not cost needed while the finance budgets are under tremendous strain with proposed cuts over most areas, Health, Education, to name only 2. There is also a predicted shortfall in funding for Local Authorities. To increase the number of Senedd members is not reasonable when Wales' finances are in a dire mess.
I strongly object to this complete waste of taxpayers money and believe if this goes ahead there will be less accountability which is actually sadly lacking now,

Yours sincerely

Irene Hunt
