They have no history in the county council election, but Reform candidate James Crocker hopes the party's new-kid-on-the-block status will be part of its appeal to voters.

In 2022, agriculture was the third-highest emitting sector in Wales, accounting for 16% of Wales' emissions.Cattle and sheep numbers should fall by 19% by 2033 due to changes in agricultural policy but also a shift in diets with less meat and dairy consumed UK-wide, the report has predicted.

The proportion of woodland cover across Wales will rise from 15% to 17% in 2033 and 26% by 2050, according to the committee's projections.Farming union NFU Cymru said the Welsh government needed to "reflect and consider" whether that advice fit "with the circumstances we have in Wales"."Many thousands of people rely on agriculture and livestock production," said the union's president Aled Jones.

The Welsh government thanked the CCC for the report which it said it would now "review and use to set Carbon Budget 4 in regulation before the end of the year".A spokesman said it had been working with the UK government, the local authority and key stakeholders as part of the Tata Steel UK transition board to support affected individuals and businesses and develop a "strong vision for the future of the region".

It hoped do this by "making the most of" opportunities from new infrastructure and investment in areas such as renewable energy, he added.

The UK government said it had committed £2.5bn "to rebuild the steel industry for decades to come as it decarbonises"., it was looking to reduce police officer numbers to 1,000.

It added it was exploring "several difficult decisions" which include a reduction in police staff numbers.Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson said there was "£1bn extra going into policing overall".

Chief Constable Paul Gibson said the force would also cancel its upcoming police officer intake for March this year."We are facing some very difficult decisions and cancelling the next police officer intake is just the first of what is likely to be many to come," said Mr Gibson.
