Public services ombudsman annual report received.

A resident has written to the council requesting a memorial bench near the slipway by the life guards. Unfortunately due to needing a minimum amount of space, in front, behind and to the side of the seat (These are PCC minimum requirements for Health and safety) we are unable to meet the required space. When the original seats were sited there were done so with a PCC officer present, advising us of the required spacing. The ground to the right of the slipway is owned by Amroth Castle and putting any further seats closer to the seafront on the righthand side of the slipway will make them susceptible to damage from the sea in the winter. Winter tides can throw up some sizeable boulders.

MATTERS DISCUSSED AT FEBRUARY MEETING 2016

The chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and introduced Mr Alan Hare from Pembrokeshire Coast Nation Park Authority who had been invited to discuss the proposed introduction of Parking Charges at Amroth.

As a result of reduced income the National Park are looking at ways to save money as well as potential income generation.  They currently look after 10 carparks around the coast. Members and officers agreed they did not want to increase parking costs, but looked at increasing the number of car parks where they charge, Amroth, Nolton Haven, West Angle Bay are being looked at.  

The National Park recognise there is a potential negative affect to business, but that evidence shows this tends to be only short term.  The charge will only be during the holiday season and during the day (no evening charge).  They will also offer a season ticket (£70) and a single site car park (£25).

They will not be charging in Amroth this year, as the idea has to go through a consultation phase.  

The Councillors discussed the projected income for the car park whilst taking into account the cost to run it as a pay and display with enforcement as well as money collection.    The Council was not convinced this would be profitable to the NP.  And suggested the NP look at the potential revenue and costs before a decision is made.  The NP had estimate about 80 spaces in Amroth and were counting on it being full for a large part of the season.  Mr Hare suggested the Council provide evidence on the low use of the car park over the season.

Cllrs were also concerned for residents who rely on the car park and the business that comes to Amroth because of it’s free car park.

Cllrs also questioned how the NP legally came into possession of the car park as it was originally compulsory purchased for council houses.  Mr Hare said the Car park has been in NP ownership since before 1980s.

The consultation will be run by PCC and ACC will be written to when it formal starts.

Outstanding issues to be addressed:-   

Cllr Jones has written to the Council 1st February offering his resignation.  The Council would like to thank Mr Jones for all his hard work and service over the many years being a councillor for the community.

Noticeboard for Wisemans Bridge and Llanteg are currently being made.

Noticeboard Llanteg.  A letter has been received from the owners of York Lodge, requesting confirmation in writing that the noticeboard is not on their land and supporting evidence of this.
