“PETITION TO CARMARTHENSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL RECTIFY THE ABSENCE OF ADEQUATE, ACCESSIBLE AND CLEAN PUBLIC TOILETS IN BURRY PORT TOWN

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, REQUEST IMMEDIATE ACTION FROM CARMARTHENSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL TO REINSTATE PUBLIC TOILETS IN BURRY PORT TOWN. SAID TOILET BLOCK MUST BE ACCESSIBLE TO WHEELCHAIR USERS, DISABLED AND ELDERLY PERSONS, AND THOSE WITH BABIES OR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE STRUCTURE MUST BE PROTECTED FROM VANDALISM, WITH APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT AND CLEANING REGIME, SO AS TO RESTORE PRIDE IN OUR TOWN AND TO WELCOME TOURISTS. WE REQUEST THAT THE TOWN COUNCIL AND RELEVANT COMMUNITY GROUPS ARE INVOLVED FROM THE PLANNING STAGE THROUGH TO THE REOPENING OF THE PUBLIC CONVENIENCES.”

“Recent research from the Local Government Association revealed that two thirds of councils in England are not confident of achieving their Net Zero Carbon targets within their target timescales whilst the Welsh Local Government Association is working on a climate change transition and support programme to seek to help the public sector meet the Welsh Government’s 2050 Net Zero Carbon target.

Given this information, as well as acknowledging the overall severe financial pressures faced by Local Authorities, reaching  Net Zero targets has become even more challenging than ever.

Where does this Council currently stand in relation to its current objectives and the ultimate goal of achieving the more ambitious 2030 Net Zero Carbon target?”
