  • 11. Short Debate: Last orders or a new beginning for the local pub? 11 Feb 2026

    So, be it community owned or privately owned, there is a critical value to our local pub that we should always, always cherish. But there are some direct questions I wish to pose to the Government in the hope that they can be addressed, maybe in the response that we will hear, and I'm sure they will be. What will you do to save the local pub? That is my first question. Will you commit to...

  • 11. Short Debate: Last orders or a new beginning for the local pub? 11 Feb 2026

    Across Wales, communities are taking control when their local assets are under threat. We have seen and continue to see a remarkable rise in community pubs, a real new beginning for local hospitality in some of these communities. There are many examples, of course. You think of Tafarn y Fic in Llithfaen as the first example of a community pub in Wales. Nearer to my home, there's the Raven...
  • 11. Dadl Fer: Amser ar ben, neu ddechrau newydd i'r dafarn leol? 11 Feb 2026

    Ledled Cymru, mae cymunedau yn cymryd rheolaeth pan fo’u hasedau lleol nhw dan fygythiad. Rŷn ni wedi ac yn parhau i weld cynnydd rhyfeddol mewn tafarndai cymunedol, dechrau newydd gwirioneddol i letygarwch lleol yn rhai o'r cymunedau hyn. Mae yna enghreifftiau lu, wrth gwrs. Mae rhywun yn meddwl am Tafarn y Fic yn Llithfaen fel yr enghraifft gyntaf o dafarn gymunedol yng Nghymru. Yn nes...

    We also need to recognise, of course, the crucial role that pubs play in supporting tourism and the wider marketing of Wales as a destination. For many visitors, experiencing the local pub isn't an optional extra, it's a central part of one's holiday. Tourists don't come to Wales simply for the scenery, important though that is, of course, they come for a sense of place, for the warmth, the...

  • 11. Short Debate: Last orders or a new beginning for the local pub? 11 Feb 2026

    I stand before you here in the Senedd today with a deep appreciation of the local pub and what these places mean, not simply as licensed premises, but as community living rooms, as cultural hubs and as spaces where friendships are made, stories are shared and lives are lived. Wherever you are in Wales, the pub is where, very often, generations have gathered after work, after community events...
