Thank you to the 20 or so people from Ferryside, Burry Port and Carmarthen who met on Morfa beach to clear plastic and rubbish. Dan Snaith of Tidy Towns  and a colleague came in two four wheel drive trucks to pick up a mountain of plastic bags we collected. Good to be in the great outdoors on such a clear spring morning. Big thank you to Colin Butters for organising the event.

Colin Butters a Ferryside resident has arranged another Morfa beach clean-up for Friday 26th April. This area has a lot of plastic waste washed up or blown in from the estuary. Last year over two van loads of waste was collected. As ever Daniel Snaith of Keep Wales Tidy will provide vehicles, tongs and plastic bags. Please meet on the beach by the railway crossing at 10.00 am, this Friday. The crossing is before Bronyn Farm beyond the entrance to the Sewage works .

Public Conveniences in Ferryside not safe yet!

Posted on by

Just learnt that my previous post saying that the Ferryside Public Conveniences are safe was a tad premature. County have now clarified. A letter is to be sent to clerks of Community Councils setting out the exact position.

I now understand (as Delme had said in his recent post) that the decision on public conveniences in tourist areas is to be deferred.Whilst it is good news that the public conveniences in the five tourist areas identified will not be closed on 31 March 2013, the period of time during which they will be retained and maintained by CCC remains uncertain.Previously it had been said that the conveniences would be safe for the foreseeable future! Apologies for raising false hope.

Hope everyone keeps up the pressure on our representatives.

Public Conveniences in Ferryside saved

News just received from the Community Councils ( Llanstephan, St Ishmael’s, Cenarth, Pendine, Pembrey & Burry Port and Kidwelly) Action Committee;

According to an informal letter sent to the action committee by a council official, I understand that the public conveniences in tourist areas will be retained and maintained by the County Council for the foreseeable future, having been treated differently due to recognition of the core role they play in the tourism economy. These facilities are located in Llansteffan, Pendine, Cenarth, Ferryside and Burry Port. A letter to this effect will be mailed to community council clerks by the end of the week.

Well done to all those who petitioned and lobbied county councillors. Well done and thank you to Delme Bowen for his work in organising and collecting  the over 300+ signature petition and also thank you to our Community Councillors for opposing the closure of the facilities in Ferryside and being active members of the Action Commitee. Thanks also to our AMs and MPs who forgot about party differences and worked together on our behalf.

Just shows what can be done – Together!
