Action plans for the creation of a better and more cohesive community: The meeting was addressed by Ms Becky Turrell, an organiser of some of PLANED'S activities in Pembrokeshire. PLANED run a host of community - led partnerships aimed at engaging local people to improve the quality of life in Pembrokeshire; economically, culturally and socially.

Owing to the steep slope of the field, the site has to be terraced, and this has necessitated a continual stream of eight wheeled lorries using Imble Lane to bring in loads of loose earth to build up the terraces. Over the years, when potholes appeared in Imble Lane, they had been filled in with Tarmac, but owing to the narrowness of Imble Lane, these heavily laden vehicles had had to make a near 90 degree turn to enter the construction site, causing the their wheels to excavate the Tarmac infilling from the potholes. Several residents of the Imble Lane area had lodged complaints with PCC highways department that the rapidly deteriorating surface is likely to cause serious damage to their car tyres and suspensions. As secretary of the community association, several of the residents had asked Mr. Selby to write to the PCC highways department setting out their dissatisfaction with the present state of the Imble Lane road surface. They insist that the broken road surface should be maintained at a reasonable standard, and the mud continually cleaned from the road and pavement throughout the construction period.
