A Few Items Taken from the October 2015 Meeting
LLLANTEG MATTERS DISCUSSED AT OCTOBER MEETING 2015
The chair welcomed Anne Slade from Saundersfoot Bay Chamber for Tourism who talked about the work they have been doing over the last 18 months and to request feedback from the Community council regarding future opportunities and ways of working together. Anne invited businesses to get involved with the Chamber and talked positively about working together. It was suggested the map be amended to show the beach at Amroth. A website visitsaundersfootbay.com has been developed to provide both visitors and locals with information about Saundersfoot and the surrounding area. Local organisations are invited to send in information about events being held to help promote them. The Chamber can be contacted by emailing saundersfootchamber-tourism@yahoo.co.uk
Before the ordinary business of the meeting Cllr Harries informed the council of the need to address a serious complaint which has been received by the clerk.
The Clerk had received two letters of complaint against a Community Councillor from a Ward member. These letters were dated 10th and 15th October respectively. The family of the complainant were present at the meeting. Prior to any discussions taking place three members of the Community Council declared Personal and Prejudicial interest in the matter and left the meeting room.
The Clerk and Chair then read out the letters of complaint. The complainants were asked if they were happy that their complaint had been heard in full by the Council. They stated that they were and then left the meeting for the matter to be discussed by Councillors.
Council debated the matter and decided unanimously that a serious breach of the Councillors Code of Conduct had taken place and that the matter should be reported to the Welsh Public Services Ombudsman with a copy going to Ms Claire Jones, Pembrokeshire County Council Monitoring Officer.
The three Councillors who had declared an interest were then summoned back into the meeting room and informed of the action to be taken.

Noticeboards It was agreed to place a new noticeboard in Wisemans Bridge, Cllr Harries will arrange for this to happen. Other noticeboards will be painted spring 2016.
Land east of Folly Cottage (14/0939/PA) Llanteg. The response from the enforcement officer is that The shed ‘as built’ appears in accordance with the approved plan except for the omission of a door and a window on the western elevation. The omission of this fenestration detail does not cause any concern and has the effect of making the appearence of the shed less like that of a dwelling. No further action required.
The Trunk Rd Agency has been contacted regarding the speed signs and distracting signs on A4777 . This letter has been acknowledged by the WG who are dealing with any queries.
County Councillor Brinsden –
