ANGLE has maintained its autonomy as a stand-alone community council, following Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government Jayne Bryant MS’s acceptance of all but one Boundary Commission Recommendations.

At a recent meeting, Angle Community Council extended a big thank you to the Ward family for an amazing Hallowe’en Party. It was well supported by children and their families, raising £120 for the play park.

An advert and call for help, submitted to the newsletter, invites members of the village to participate in next year’s Summer Fête. Beneficiaries of the event will be the village Hall, the church and the play park.

Under Section 6 of the Environmental Act, all Community Councils, however small and with limited responsibility for managing biodiversity, must complete a three-yearly report. To understand the full implications, One Voice Wales have arranged some webinars. Ideas for Angle Community Council included possibility of tree planting along the verge on the approach to the beach, which would also act as a parking deterrent.

Regarding the approach to West Angle Car Park and parking, various options were discussed at the meeting, including the removal of the internal wall and the possibility of removing the bank dividing the parking area from the access track, together with possibility of planting other trees and shrubs. Councillor Ward agreed to investigate.

It was also suggested that the community council makes a FOI request regarding income generated from the carpark and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s long term plans for maintenance and upkeep of both toilets and the car park. It was confirmed that the public toilets will stay open next year as the authority have agreed funding with Pembrokeshire County Council.

Further discussion took place regarding possible engagement with Castlemartin and Stackpole Community Council about issues that may be similar for both communities.
