The Welsh Conservatives promoted their plans for community empowerment.

Candidate for South Wales Central, Andrew RT Davies, said: "Welsh Conservatives would give more communities the opportunity to get involved - co-operate - and take control."

Mr Davies was speaking on a visit to a pub, previously owned by the local community, in the Vale of Glamorgan.

"We want them to take over the running of local amenities like village halls, community centres, post offices and pubs."
