I would like to pay tribute to the founder members for their inspiration and enterprise in launching the show back in the nineteen seventies. I would like to thank all the past and present members of the Show Committee for all their hard work, commitment and dedication along the way. Not forgetting all our old friends who are very sadly no longer with us. The contribution of all our other staunch supporters from near and far; who have worked tirelessly and contributed in so many different way over the last forty years in order to keep the show going, especially during the more challenging times, is also very much appreciated. That includes all our volunteer helpers for their invaluable labour, the stall holders, entertainers, exhibitors, judges, stewards and the charitable organisations who work, in conjunction with the committee, to stage the show. Staging the show also involves a major financial outlay that would be totally impossible without the generous support of all our many sponsors, for which we are extremely grateful. Caerwys is a traditional Agricultural Show, which provides an interesting day out for everybody from all walks of life, with something for all age groups, from children to senior citizens.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy
    Environment Directorate Contaminated Land Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Revision 4 | February 2013 Foreward This Contaminated Land Strategy describes how Flintshire County Council is required to identify sites within its administrative control that may be affected by land contamination. The document also explains the statutory guidance, legislative provisions, processes and procedures that the Council will follow in order to investigate those sites, to identify statutorily Contaminated Land where necessary and to remediate Contaminated Land. The Council first published its Contaminated Land Strategy in September 2002. Since then a number of investigations to assess land contamination have been carried out and significant changes to legislation and guidance documents have taken place. This revision of the Strategy has taken these changes into account and amendments have been made where necessary. This revision of the Strategy replaces all previous revisions of Flintshire County Council’s Contaminated Land Strategy. Flintshire County Council Environment Directorate Public Protection Pollution Control Section Phase 4 County Hall Mold Flintshire CH7 6NH Contaminated Land Strategy Revision 4 February 20 Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2 Executive Summary Land can be affected by contamination in the environment as a result of human activity and as a result of natural processes. The presence of contamination may cause harm or present risks to health, animals, buildings or the environment. However, just because contamination is present does not mean that the land is Contaminated Land or that there is a problem. On 1st July 2001, legislation requiring land contamination to be investigated and addressed was enacted in Wales. The legislation is known as Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and it introduced a detailed way by which land contamination could be regulated.

An important principle for our work is to aim to achieve a better democratic balance within each council area so that each vote cast in an election is, so far as reasonably practicable, of the same weight as all others in the council area. The achievement of this aim, along with other measures, would be conducive to effective and convenient local government. At the beginning of this review process we have found some considerable differences between the numbers of voters to councillors not only between council areas in Wales, but also within council areas themselves. The Commission is constrained by a number of things in the way we undertake our work: • The basic “building blocks” for electoral divisions are the community areas into which Wales is divided.

Water quality is generally very good, reflected in the surface and groundwaters abstractions made for drinking supplies, and supports important salmonid fisheries. However, there are issues which must be addressed if the potential of the plan area is to be realised Surface and groundwater resources are finely balanced and only careful management will ensure that groundwaters are not in future depleted'. Coastal water quality, important to the tourist industry, requires improvement through introducing new sewage disposal schemes whilst pollution prevention activity is essential towards reducing the number of agricultural and other incidents affecting freshwaters.
