in a giant tunnel that is part of the Crossrail project in London – a new railway that links east and west London and which will bring parts of the capital closer to west Wales. Crossrail


is the biggest


construction project in Europe and is due to start opening at the end of 2017; so far it is 75% complete and is on time and within budget. “I know that a tunnel under


London may seem a bit irrelevant to west Wales but one of the stations


on the new Elizabeth Line will be at Paddington – our rail gateway to the capital,” said Mr Hart who is pictured with fellow MP Karl McCartney. “Crossrail will cut journey times


from Paddington to Canary Wharf from 34 minutes to 17 minutes and the journey to Liverpool Street Station will go from 23 minutes to 10 minutes. “Not only will this project


improve the lives of city commuters but it will help encourage investment in Wales by providing faster links.”


Police warn public of vehicle battery theſts HAVERFORDWEST NPT is


urging people to remove batteries from caravans, boats and other battery operated vehicles and lock them away safely, in light of a recent spate of thefts of Leisure Batteries within the Force area. If this cannot be done, the police


have asked people to please ensure that a suitable and substantial lock is in place to deter the opportunist thief from removing yours. If you need any further crime

Steve Lucas of the Bat Conservation Trust Angela said: “I am delighted to support this initiative and I feel that it is a great way of making us think again about the impact that decisions taken in the Assembly have on our wildlife. "As a member representing a predominantly rural constituency I feel that I do have a good grasp on the importance of our environment

and why it should be preserved and championed. However it was enlightening to spend some time discussing wildlife protection with Steve and learning more about the important part that bats play in our ecosystem. I have been lucky enough to share


my home with bats and my family have loved seeing these amazing creatures flying in and out of our attic as the night draws in. I hope that in acting as a champion for bats in the Assembly I can play my part in reducing a decline in numbers and help to safeguard their future.”
