Matters discussed at the recent meeting of Amroth Community Council included: An item added to the agenda at a late stage was the correspondence received regarding the planning application for the proposed Coach Stopover/Aires de Service, Llanteg. Seren-y-Mor: It was resolved by members that advice should be sought. PLANED were unable to attend this meeting and it was resolved to invite them to a meeting later in the year. Dog bins: Members were informed that these were to be installed in the near future. Dog gloves: It was resolved that the clerk should make another order with JRB Enterprise and Clr. Brinsden would pursue the matter of purchasing from PCC. Amroth Village Hall: The new Barclays Bank account was now open and the clerk had received a cheque and paying in book. A positive result. Education Charity of David Rees: Enquiries had been made as to the number of children moving on to senior education in September so that thesauri could be purchased for them. Sewerage: Nothing to report at this time. Nonetheless, members were informed that the development company carrying out the new development at Heathfield Court were prepared to install their own sewerage plant. Land adjacent to Amroth Arms: Nothing to report at this time. However, another survey had taken place recently. Bottle bank: Members were informed that PCC were looking into the matter. Flooding outside the Cartwheel: No work had taken place to date. However, members were informed that the work was in the pipeline. Stepaside Inn Restaurant: The clerk received a 'phone call from the owner of the premises, and the clerk informed members that the Welsh Assembly Government had stepped in and had suggested that the restaurant be re-opened with an application for a small bar. Amroth sea-front: Members were informed that the work would not now be completed until work on the new groynes had been completed. This was to be monitored. The request for new signs to be installed along the sea-front was now in hand. Redirection of traffic after an accident: There was another fatal accident recently on the TRA477 by the Old Amroth Road and traffic was redirected a lot better. Thanks were extended to Dyfed-Powys Police for their co-operation. PCC were to implement a local development plan and later on this year they would make it known that anybody with land would be looking for persons with candidate sites that should include proximity to services, schools, public transport, and whether the site would contribute to the area. Flooding would also be taken into consideration, along with other factors relating to building applications. Road maintenance, Llanteg to Tavernspite: Work had been part completed along this stretch of road and PCC would look to complete the rest of the road in the future. Road maintenance, Summerhill: This matter was now in hand, as were the road signs from Wisemans Bridge into Summerhill. New Neighbourhood Watch Scheme: This had now been organised and monthly meetings were to be held locally. Residents with any concerns can contact Clr. John James who will, hopefully, be able to attend these meetings. Planning: Clr. Brinsden declared an interest in issues and took no part in the discussions. Members were informed that 'over-development' in planning terms meant that the proposed property had no garden, or parking, or turning facilities. On this basis, the objection of 'over-development' made by Amroth Community Council for Little Hill, Cliff Road, Wisemans Bridge, was not a correct comment. Thus, it was resolved by members to 'reluctantly' withdraw the comment and the clerk informed PCNP of same. Planning applications received from PCNP for consideration: provide accommodation for an elderly relative, Seafields, Amroth (no objection); demolish existing building and erect four residential holiday units, The Flat, Amroth Stores, Amroth (objection on the basis that concern was raised regarding resident parking, the height of the property in relation to existing properties and disposal of sewage). Planning applications received from PCC for consideration: erection of garage, 7 Summerhill, Stepaside (no objection); storage of caravans and boats, Merrixton House Farm, Stepaside (no objection); alterations and extension, The Boundary, New Inn, Amroth (no objection); erection of new stock shed, Rose Park Farm, Llanteg (no objection). Planning permission granted by PCNP for: extension, 6 and 7 Brookside Villas, Amroth; new gardeners facilities, Colby Woodland Gardens, Amroth. Planning permission granted by PCC for: replacement livestock shed, Kilanow Farm, Stepaside; proposed replacement conservatory and extension of toilet to create shower and toilet, Dobbin Walls, Kilgetty Lane, Stepaside. Correspondence: The clerk received a letter from Ruth Roberts regarding Mountain Chapel. Planters had been installed there and Llanteg History Society would like a plaque installed stating who the planters were dedicated to the memory of. No objections were made. The clerk was to contact Ms. Roberts to this effect. Members were informed that the line of sight out of the drive was very poor for residents living in Morgans Way. It was resolved that National Trust or the manager at Colby Woodland Gardens should be contacted for the hedge to be cut to improve visibility. It was resolved that PCC would be contacted regarding the problems at Nannie Gentles Lane and the bottom of Merrixton Road leading down to Staggers Hill. The issue of the bollard by the flagpole on Amroth beach needed to be fixed in place and members were informed that the matter was in hand. The issue of the gate posts along the old cliff road between Amroth and Wisemans Bridge was raised. These posts were the original toll gates and it would be a good idea for them to be with the list of the tolls at Colby Woodland Gardens. It was agreed that this matter would be pursued in the future. Dates of next meetings: Thursdays, September 13, October 18 and November 29.
