Update on Play Areas and inspection reports - The January inspection reports had been circulated and it was agreed that all high-risk matters would be looked at.

There were several medium-risk items at all parks which would be investigated as soon as possible.

The following report was submitted by county councillor for the ward Cllr Jacob Williams - The county council’s 2023 surface dressing programme is expected to commence on April 17 and will be undertaken on a rolling programme over a period of approximately eighteen weeks.

Some temporary closures may be necessary on narrower roads where it is not feasible to maintain traffic flow around the works.

Post-work temporary 20mph speed restrictions will also be put in place. Within the East Williamston ward the following roads are listed - C3023 (Broadmoor cross to Cold Inn road).

The following matters were raised by community councillors:

• The poles for speed signs for Templebar Road are on order from Pembrokeshire County Council.

Quotes have been obtained for new solar speed signs and changing battery operated signs to solar powered.

After a debate it was considered that it was not worth converting the battery ones to solar and that the purchase of two new solar signs was a more acceptable solution.

It was agreed that this be put on the agenda for the April meeting to decide on the purchase.

• The car park extension along the Common was raised and it was agreed to write to the immediate neighbours as well Mrs Moran about this.

It was agreed that this be put on the agenda for April as well to agree the quote from Alan Davies for the work.
