Open Doors' Regional Manager Wins Seat on Welsh Assembly

Darren Millar, North West Regional Manager for the persecuted church agency Open Doors, has been elected to the Welsh Assembly in last Thursday's elections, ousting the Labour Culture Minister Alun Pugh to become the member for Clwyd West.

As the Conservative candidate, Darren campaigned for a fairer deal from the Assembly for North Wales, against the amalgamation of police forces in Wales and for protection of local hospitals and schools which are threatened with closure.

He was also concerned by plans for wind farms off the North Wales coast and in the Clocaenog forest, the problem of affordable housing, the regeneration of local towns and support for the rural community.
