Taken from the Tenby Observer so cannot guarantee that this is everything relating to Llanteg that was discussed



Clr Brinsden stated that the Crossland's pothole was now repaired, but that a further pothole had occured and this has been reported and it would be done in due course.

There was concern that a large quantity of mud was left on the road following the recent erection of a wind turbine in the area.

Clr Brinsden also said that there was no 'unsuitable for HGV' sign at the crossroads from the A477 to Tavernspite. This would be done. They had also been asked to make the Tavernspite road sign smaller, so that it did not look like a main road. This would deter heavy goods traffic from using the road.

A few items from the Early february 2012 Meeting
Taken from the Tenby Observer so cannot guarantee that this is everything relating to Llanteg that was discussed



Internet - Council welcomed Alex Allison, Bryn Nicholas and Natalia Miles from Pembrokeshire County Council to a recent meeting to discuss the improvement of broadband reception in some problematic spots in the area - in particular Pleasant Valley, Amroth and  Llanteg.
They discussed a project, funded through the Rural Development Plan, called Connecting Communities.  It is aimed to get communities faster connection where fixed band broadband is problematic.  The project will look at alternate broadband solutions derived from a central source, eg fixed wireless satellite etc.
Bryn Nicholas explained that fibre quality broadband is a possibility via fixed wireless routed through a mast which may or may not currently exist.  This mast must be high enough to provide a clear line of sight to the problem spots in the area.  It would be up to the community to decide what facility they would wish to opt for.
If you have slow broadband speed - below two megabytes - then this solution might be an option which will help.  If you are interested in finding out more, then please register your interest by contacting the Clerk on 01834 810360 or at paulinetdavies@gmail.com.
If there is sufficient interest in pursuing this then a meeting will be held at the Pairsh Hall, Summerhill, where the County Council Project Team will explain how this might work in the area an d illustrate the different possibilities.
If you are unsure of your current speed, then you can log onto www.speedtest.net and carry out a broadband sped test on your computer.

Llanteg Park - Clr Brinsden reported that a grit bin had been requested for Llanteg Park.  This was agreed and the cost was £120.

Crosslands - on February 22nd the Crossland's Road would be closed for a short while to enable road works to take place.

Speeding - there were complaints of speeding vehicles on the A477 and a request had been made that the whole length of this road be made 40 mph.  The police were currently monitoring the situation.

Llanteg Community Association - Pembroke Male Voice Choir at Llanteg Hall on March 11th, tickets £5.  It was reported that the Llanteg noticeboard would be erected shortly.

Planning:
     Land west of Surfhaven, Llanteg - erection of dwelling (permission granted)
     Rose Park Farm, Llanteg - erection of a rural enterprise dwelling (permission refused)
     Land south of Crosslands Road, Llanteg - erection of a temporary 40.5m anemometer mast    (concerns have been raised on this matter).

Opening of All Wales Coast Path - May 5/6 -- funding available for events.  Llanteg and Amroth Community Associations may organise an event to mark this historic weekend.

Good Neighbour Scheme - was asking for volunteers to join the scheme and also that local residents in Llanteg would appreciate a bus service through the village to the main centres.
