NOTICE OF MOTION SUBMITTED BY COUNCILLOR LEWIS DAVIES

“This Council:

a.     Calls on the Westminster Government to devolve to the Welsh Government the authority for deciding on bank holidays in Wales (through the Banking & Financial Dealings Act 1971) in the same way as at present in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and that we ask all Councils in Wales to make a similar request through the Welsh Local Government Association.

b.     Notes that there is public support for the creation of a bank holiday on St. David’s Day in Wales, and that the Welsh Government has on numerous occasions asked the UK Government to devolve the necessary powers.

c.      Asks Cabinet to investigate the possibility and implications of denoting St David’s Day as an additional day of paid leave for its staff on March 1st annually.

d.     Asks Cabinet to consider how the Council can further support St. David’s Day celebrations on and around March 1st, working in conjunction with Town and Community Councils and other key partners to deliver cultural and economic benefits.”

NOTICE OF MOTION SUBMITTED BY COUNCILLOR JOHN JAMES

“That this Council acknowledges the severe negative impact the cost of living crisis is having already on the everyday life of Carmarthenshire residents and in this instance on families sending their children to school and paying for items such as uniforms, stationery, food, as well as coping with the lack of transport to school.

 

Also, that this Council respectfully requests the Council’s Cabinet to reinstate the School Transport Advisory Panel made up of a political balanced membership as well as the appropriate Cabinet Member and supported by all relevant personnel to investigate all options that could help these families.”

QUESTION BY COUNCILLOR KEVIN MADGE TO COUNCILLOR DARREN PRICE, LEADER OF THE COUNCIL

QUESTION BY COUNCILLOR KEVIN MADGE TO COUNCILLOR JANE TREMLETT, CABINET MEMBER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Could I have an update regarding the Cwmamman Day centre. When are the County Council planning to open the Day centre for the whole week providing 30 clients with services.

QUESTION BY COUNCILLOR MARTYN PALFREMAN TO COUNCILLOR GARETH JOHN, CABINET MEMBER FOR REGENERATION, LEISURE, CULTURE AND TOURISM

“It is noted that Carmarthenshire will receive £38.6m over the next 3 years through the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and that a high-level regional Investment Plan has been submitted for approval. Please could the Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Leisure, Culture and Tourism advise on the following:

1.     The process for agreeing which local projects go forward and who will be involved in these decisions.

2.     Arrangements for ensuring that the needs and priorities of all communities across Carmarthenshire are reflected in the approved projects.

3.     Whether safeguards in place to ensure that local priorities are not subsumed into those set at regional level, and what these safeguards are.

4.     The state of preparedness of proposed projects, which will obviously need to ‘hit the ground running’ to optimise spend and outcomes, particularly in Year 1.

5.     Whether the spend profile for the Fund is split proportionately across each year, with a smaller allocation in Year 1 because approved projects are unlikely to start until late 2022 at the earliest”.
