Bruce Roberts - Clwyd South’s candidate for Assembly elections in May.
March 16, 2011 3:16 PM
Clwyd South Liberal Democrats have selected Johnstown businessman Bruce Roberts as their candidate for the National Assembly elections on May 5th. 
Bruce will be well known to most people having stood in Clwyd South in last year's Westminster elections and increased the Lib Dem vote share by 2%.
Bruce lives with his family in Johnstown and runs his own Accountancy firm in Wrexham. His wife Anna is a local school teacher, and all his children attend local schools.
On being selected Bruce said:
"The severity of the economic situation facing Britain does not seem to have registered with the National Assembly Government in Cardiff. They go on wasting money on planes and first class trains to ferry politicians around Wales whilst they continue to underfund key investments for the future such as education."
"We cannot afford to allow the Labour/Plaid coalition to stifle progress and freedom. We cannot afford to allow them to create a Welsh nation which is insular, state dependent, lacking enterprise and declining in prosperity."
"As a local businessman I am very concerned that Cardiff bureaucracy is preventing much needed support reaching local businesses."
"Last summer Deputy First Minister Plaid Cymru's Ieuan Wyn Jones launched a grandiose new 'flagship' policy for business development in Wales - the 'Economic Renewal Program'. Yet not a single penny has reached a single business in Wales."
"I am particularly concerned that local Assembly members are failing to win the support our local businesses need to grow and create jobs. In the past 9 months the Assembly has handed out £48 million to promote growth, but with very little (only £7 million) reaching North Wales."
