John-Paul takes your calls on e-bikes and education. And what adds character to your town?

Are illegal e-bikes an issue where you live? What do you make of the standard of education in Welsh schools? Is there a noise, sight or smell that adds character to your town?

Over 100 illegal e-bikes and scooters, including one which could reach speeds of 86mph, have been seized in a month-long police operation in Cardiff. The operation was launched after the community reported concerns in certain areas of the city, so are illegal e-bikes also an issue where you live?

Are our children getting the very best education? As students prepare to return to classrooms across Wales this week, a new report has claimed that educational standards in our schools are declining. What do you make of the standard of education in Welsh schools? And what more can be done to boost academic achievement here?

Plans to silence the Machynlleth town clock that rings every 15 minutes, including overnight, have been rejected after councillors said the chimes were part of the "character" of the area. So, is there a noise, sight, smell, or even a person, that adds character to your town?
