2 - Constituency Activity

Once again, twelve months have flown by and it has been a busy year as a Councillor for Bro Rhosyr. Nothing much has changed in 2018-19 as I am still Shadow Portfolio Holder for Housing and find it very interesting. It also challenging for the officers and for us as Councillors trying our best for the people of Ynys Mȏn.

There are several committees that I am appointed to, namely Democratic Services, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Licencing Committee, Regeneration and Planning & Orders Committee. I have taken part and made decisions on various applications that come in front of me. Hopefully, I have made the right decision that will be, and, has been of benefit to the people of Ynys Mȏn.

3 - Initiatives and Special Activities

I am also appointed to outside bodies such as the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Joint Advisory Committee looking into various projects that are of benefit to the habitat and nature in general on Ynys Mȏn.

Other outside bodies I am a member of is the North Wales Fire & Rescue Authority and also their Executive Panel in making decisions and the right way forward for this most important Authority.

I am a School Governor at Brynsiencyn Primary School and Esceifiog Primary in Gaerwen. Once again, as a School Governor in both primaries has been very challenging especially when it comes to school closures and the threat of losing our school. We appointed various teachers for both schools, with a new Headmaster for Brynsiencyn and with very little time has transformed the school bringing harmony into the workplace.

It is an honour and a privilege to be a School Governor for Brynsiencyn and Esceifiog. Both our grandchildren attend Brynsiencyn Primary School gaining first class tuition and the same applies for Gaerwen where the standard is first class in all ways.

4 - Learning and Development

Information about the learning and development initiatives I have attended during the past year is available here (information supplied by the Isle of Anglesey County Council): http://democracy.anglesey.gov.uk/mgListTraining.aspx?UID=913&RPID=380724&LL L=0

5 - Other Activities and Issues

So all in all, 2018-19 has been a busy year for me, taking phone calls and emails from my constituents. I’ve also dealt with communication from outside my jurisdiction pointing and helping people to the relevant officers at Ynys Mȏn.

I am also a member of and Llanddaniel Community Councils, as well as Esceifiog and .

I do hope that I serve you well as I enjoy my role as a County Councillor and a real pleasure of representing my good people and all the good people of Ynys Mȏn in general.
