Dear Sirs,

I would like to strongly object to the proposal for extra AM’s to the Senedd. Not only would this be a further waste of taxpayers money the current AM’s are not subject to a recall.

I as a taxpayer living in Wales for some ten years, I feel that the AM’s are not following the taxpayers wishes, neither are the full facts of speed restriction surveys being aired in the Senedd.  Namely the forced 20 mph restriction on our roads which is against the majority of the population’s wishes and the extra COVID  lockdown over Christmas and new year which affected family life and the  local businesses very badly.

I can see no justification for additional members and feel the money could be better spent on the Welsh NHS who have been battling for years to attain English standards and have really floundered since the COVID pandemic with the mismanagement by the Senedd.

Yours faithfully.

Joy Hill
