Radio Cymru tour kicks off in Llansannan
|
Manylu, 91Èȱ¬ Radio Cymru's main current affairs programme, will kick-start its tour of Wales in Llansannan on Tuesday 3 June.
Ìý
Local people will have the opportunity to discuss the issues that concern them most and to challenge the panel in the recording of Manylu - Hawl i Holi at Canolfan Bro Aled.
Ìý
Plaid Cymru's Honorary President, Dafydd Wigley; Peredur Hughes, former president of NFU Cymru and a leading member of the British NFU committee; local solicitor Dylan Rhys Jones and Rhiannon Parry, the former editor of Y Gadlas, the area's papur bro, will all be on the panel taking questions and discussing the topics raised by the audience.
Ìý
Chairing the Welsh language debate will be renowned journalist Dewi Llwyd, who originally comes from Bangor. As the presenter of 91Èȱ¬ Wales's Pawb a'i Farn discussion programme on S4C he's an old hand at keeping the discussion in order.

"I'm looking forward to visiting Llansannan and hearing about the issues which concern the people of that area," says Dewi.
Ìý
"The panel will be challenged by the audience's questions and one thing's certain - there won't be anywhere for them to hide!"
Ìý
"As we embark on the tour the topics will certainly vary from area to area," says series producer Geraint Lewis Jones, "but the recent increase in oil prices and the world-wide credit crunch all have their impact on communities in relation to the cost of travel, housing and general living costs."

The tour will also visit Bow Street, Llanfyllin, Llanberis, Ammanford and Treorchy.
