We are currently in the process of putting together a letter which will be sent to Traveline which is run by Transport for Wales, since there have been a number of changes made by Arriva to their services in Holyhead and the surrounding areas...
...but with very little or no notice given to passengers. Buses remain a hot topic amongst our members.
We invite you to share your experience of, and thoughts on, the service provided by Arriva across North Wales! Please reply to this thread if you wish to do so.

We received an e-mail with information from Jenny Mushiringani-Monjero at @Llais_Wales, who would like to hear your views on rights, expectations and responsibilities in Health & Social Care
Jenny is keen to hear from Self Advocacy Groups, especially if they need any help or information with anything in the future.
If you require any information about this, please send an e-mail to Jenny.MushiringaniMonjero@llaiscymru.org
We received an e-mail about a Summer Time Recycling Challenge that is being run by Kurtis Marshall and Sophie Faupel at @InnovateTrust
The aim of the challenge is to tick off items from the list and then write down an overall total for each of them.
If you would like to take part in the Challenge, have any questions or would like more information about this, please contact either Kurtis Marshall at kurtis.marshall@innovate-trust.org.uk or Sophie Faupel at sophie.faupel@innovate-trust.org.uk.
Today marks the start of #LearningDisabilityWeek2025! To celebrate this, we wanted to share a photo from the recent meeting we had with @angleseycouncil's Councillors and Staff!
During this meeting, we raised the issues that are important to us and our communities here in Anglesey!
We were also joined by Mencap Môn members who gave a fantastic Makaton performance.
Pictured above are Jac, Ben and Victoria.

Next week, our member Victoria is off to attend meeting of the Learning Disability Ministerial Advisory Group in Cardiff, where she is a representative for our friends at All Wales People First.
Victoria would like to know if there are any issues you want her to raise at the meeting. Please comment below or send an email to roaringmonselfadvocacy@gmail.com. Thank you.
Victoria is signed up to receive e-news bulletins from our friends at @DisabilityWales. This month, they shared their Press Release about the fear and anger felt by people with learning disabilities and autism regarding benefit cuts - and in turn a regression of their rights.
