4]. External Meetings:

[a]. Planning Forum: Cnllr Meg Roberts gave a detailed report following the meeting. Following recent

Concerns that the meetings were not well attended, there was an increase in the number of

Community Councils represented. The main issue of concern was that discussions are in progress

of joining both Gwynedd and Anglesey within the LDP. Council voiced concern with this proposal,

several issues need to be addressed – where would the base be , either Llangefni or Caernarvon ?

There is no comparison between areas in Gwynedd and Anglesey, Council feel that we would most

certainly lose our identity. The Clerk was asked to send a letter to the Isle of Anglesey County

Council to voice the Council’s disapproval to this proposed arrangement.

[b]. AONB – Cnllr Gwynn Jones advised that he had called at the Open day arranged recently at the

Amlwch Scouts Hut and was informed that at 5.15p.m. he was the third person to attend the event.

5]. Post Offices: In the absence of Cnllr E. Connolly, the clerk advised that Cnllr E. Connolly had been approached by

several local residents voicing concern that the Post Office was closed on the Saturday leading up to the

Bank Holiday without any notification , Council felt that this matter was not a Council matter.

7]. Amlwch Weekly Market: The County Council have now taken responsibility of the weekly market.

8]. Cnllr Dylan Jones’ monthly report: the clerk to photocopy the report and distribute to all Council members.

9]. Local Government Boundary Commission:

Council feel that the proposed arrangement of adding part of Llaneilian to the Amlwch Rural Ward is not

logical – it would make more sense to include the Llaneilian Ward with the Port Ward and add the Town

Ward to the Rural Ward. The clerk was asked to send a letter to voice the Council’s comments. In view

that this process will only reduce the number from 40 Councillors to 36. Council ask whether the cost of

this exercise can be justified with just a reduction of four Councillors ?

10]. Public Consultation on Draft Interim Planning Policy – Large Sites – the clerk to arrange that each member of the

Planning panel have a copy of the documentation.

11]. Correspondence:

resolved to invite a representation from North Wales Police to the next Council meeting.

[d]. 1st Newsletter Anglesey Rural Development Plan - - a copy for each of the planning panel.

[e]. Mr. Jordan – Glan Rhos Garage – letter received from Mr. Jordan – Initially the Council received concerns

from local residents regarding the situation and acted upon the complaints by contacting the County

Council who then called in the various services – Fire Service/ Environment Agency etc. Following

this the Environment Agency advise that several of the vehicles have now been removed from the

site.

12]. Web Site: Meeting arranged to discuss the tenders – October 4th 2010 at 6.30 p.m at the Council Chambers.
