Police and Crime Commissioner welcomes new Senedd members

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Jane Mudd, has welcomed both new and returning Members of the Senedd who will be serving the citizens of Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport and Torfaen.

She said: “I would like to congratulate the Members of the Senedd on their election. My team and I work very closely with Wales’s elected representatives and their teams, and I will be meeting with them all in the coming weeks.

“This has been the most divisive election in Wales in my lifetime. We are living in a time of great global uncertainty, leading to heightened tensions and a rise in divisive rhetoric, both online and offline, throughout the campaigning period.

“Now the election is over, I call on all members to focus on what really matters, the citizens of Gwent, and to work together to deliver the best for our communities.”
