The four local objectives mirrored the County Council’s objectives of Economy, Environment, Healthy and Communities. The pandemic had impacted on the Council causing the cancellation of a number of planned events.
Councillor Powell was asked if the Town Council had any further plans on carbon reduction and energy usage and he advised that they had been working with the National Park Authority on environmental schemes such as water collection and the installation of swift boxes. EP noted that it would be helpful if Town Councils considered the 12 well-being steps so there was an alignment of resources to maximise outcomes.
The Probation Service advised that they would welcome the opportunity to work with the Town Council with offenders sentenced to carry out unpaid work and the Leader asked that this offer be forwarded to all Town Councils.
The Leader thanked Councillor Powell for his presentation and for the Town Council’s help with enabling weekend opening at Y Gaer.
