FATHER of the National Health Service Aneurin “Nye” Bevan famously observed that the NHS would last “as long as there are folk left with the faith to fight for it.”
Tredegar town councillor Mark Turner has that faith, as do his fellow council members and his union Unite, which have all come together to organise a Bevan Day festival to mark the 70th anniversary of what he calls “the best socialist model in the UK.”
Turner — known universally as Pasty, being born in Newlyn and a proud Cornishman — was instrumental in getting the council to mark the birth of the NHS last year with a family day.
