  • Penally Update-21 Sept.Pdf
    Penally Update This situation continues to develop, so I hope the following addresses some of the questions I have received. Timeline A number of people have asked when we first became aware of this. I first became aware of this issue on Saturday 12th September. I spoke to the Home Office that day and then to the Home Secretary on Sunday 13th September. I understand that calls had been planned for Friday 11th September, but unfortunately these never materialised. I have made my feelings very plain to the Home Office about how engagement was conducted with local stakeholders and, by their own admission, how they have fallen short of professional expectations. They have since established the Asylum Accommodation Strategic Working Group as a forum for discussions about Penally Training Camp. This involves participants from Pembrokeshire County Council, Hywel Dda University Health Board, Dyfed-Powys Police, Home Office, the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales, Welsh Government, Public Health Wales and Clearsprings. This forum will ensure there is transparent engagement and consultation on the site going forward. Number of asylum seekers at the site The occupation capacity has been downscaled slightly from 250 to 234 to comply with COVID-19 regulations. Asylum seekers will be arriving at the site tonight and numbers will continue to arrive during the rest of the week, up to the maximum capacity of the site. Nationality All occupants of the site have gone through the asylum screening process, which includes being photographed, having fingerprints taken, and stating their reason for claiming asylum etc. The Home Office informs us that the majority of occupants will be from Iran and Iraq.

    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Caldey Island Lighthouse (Caldey Island Wales) A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom History Caldey Island lies about 3 miles off the south coast of Pembrokeshire facing the town and harbor of Tenby. it is 1½ miles long and less that ¾ mile wide. In 1131 the island was donated to the Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Tiron in France. In 1536 the monks were expelled from the island and it was not until 1906 that an Anglican Benedictine brotherhood bought the island and erected the present monastery. In the early 1920ʹs it was sold to the Order of the Reformed Cistercians. On the summit of the island, not far from the old Priory, stands the lighthouse which was erected by Trinity House in 1829 at a cost of £3,380 11s 7d. On either side of the tower and connected to it are two dwellings which were occupied by the keepers and their families prior to the conversion of the station to automatic unmanned operation in 1927. Caldey lighthouse was the last Trinity House lighthouse to be powered by acetylene gas until its modernization which was completed in November 1997 when it was converted to mains electricity.
