Seven members were present at the December meeting of Carew Community Council, when among items dealt with were the following:
Matters Arising
Thanks were expressed to the senior citizens committee following their recent Christmas dinner. It was agreed to write to Cadw regarding West Williamston telephone box and to the planning department regarding their recent letter. Designs were received for a new chairman's badge of office chain. Quotations were noted, while a local jeweller was also to be asked for a quotation.
Planning
Extension to Carisbrook, Lawrenny Road, Lawrenny (no objections). Remove chimney stack from gable end chimney, reconnect flue and build chimney stack - Picton Terrace (no objections). Alterations and extension to Carew Airfield Pavilion (no objections). Four-bed house - plot 4, land south of the Plough (no objections).
Correspondence
Christmas tree lights had been purchased and letters of thanks were to be sent. The chairman's allowance and clerk's salary were to be paid. Half-yearly review of requests for donations: Following discussion, it was agreed that £200 be donated to Pisgah Baptist Church. This was proposed by Clr. Maurice Griffiths and seconded by Clr. Thomas.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Action was to be taken on the following matters raised: A street sign was missing from the entrance to Bartletts Well Road. A security light in Whitehill needed adjusting as it was causing a hinderance to visibility when coming from Whitehill. Lorries from the quarry to Whitehill were leaving a residue like cement on the road. A catering van just off Milton roundabout was causing a distraction to drivers. The road safety aspect was of concern. The county council had been awarded over £1m for community hall regeneration. The clerk was to ask for further details. One suggestion was to tarmac the car parking area opposite the hall. The next meeting will be on Thursday, January 13, at 7.30 pm.
