Ken Skates' summer surgery dates

An Assembly Member has announced a round of summer surgeries to offer help and support to constituents.

Ken Skates holds monthly drop-in advice sessions with Susan Elan Jones MP – which will continue – and has now organised an extra three over the summer months.

The Clwyd South AM (pictured) said: “Surgeries are vital part of my diary and provide a valuable opportunity to sit down face-to-face with constituents and discuss all manner of things and to offer support and advice. I want to make sure my constituents have plenty of opportunity to come and talk to me over the summer.”

Mr Skates added: “My normal surgeries with Susan will continue, these are additional.”

Mr Skates’ summer surgeries will be by appointment – by calling 01978 869058, emailing ken.skates@assembly.wales or via his Facebook page – and will be held in Plas Madoc Leisure Centre, Llangollen and Penley.

Mr Skates said: “My regular surgeries with Susan are drop-in, but by making these additional surgeries by appointment it means that anything which is within Susan’s remit and not mine, non-devolved issues such as crime and social security, can be referred to her office and looked into. 

“It also gives me the opportunity to do any initial research or work in advance which might help when I sit down with the constituent.”

The surgeries will take place at:

* Plas Madoc Leisure Centre on Friday, June 8

* Mr Skates’ office at The Malthouse, Llangollen, on Friday, July 6

* The Rainbow Centre, Penley, on Saturday, August 4
