Oliver Hides takes your calls on buildings, apprenticeships and Sylvia Young

Is there a building in your town you’re afraid of losing? In your experience, is a job or qualification more important? And what are your memories of being on stage as a child.

Locals have raised enough money to save the chapel where the hymn tune Cwm Rhondda was first performed. Residents feared it could be bought by a property developer and wanted to save it as a community space. Is there a building in your town you’re afraid of losing? Or is there a lost building that you miss?

The Senedd's Economy Committee says apprenticeships should be better promoted as a strong start to a career. So what do you think is more important; experience in a job or qualifications?

Author and Actress Giovanna Fletcher is among many stars who have paid tribute following the death of Sylvia Young, the founder of the successful London theatre school. Giovanna remembered her time at the school saying, ‘I would bounce out of bed every morning… excited to create and play.’ So, Oliver would like to hear your memories of being on stage as a child, and how did it shape you?
