I am a governor in Llanfairpwll Primary School. Initiatives & Special Activities As Chair of the Community Council and also a County Councillor I have been prominent in attracting European Grants which has visibly transformed the village. I have led on the development of improving the drainage in Gors Playing Field and helped to establish ‘Ffrindiau y Gors’ in order to improve the condition of the playing field. I am still working to attract grants to erect a new Memorial Hall which is difficult but we hope to succeed.

This entailed a substantial number of home visits and public meetings. I held an unsuccessful surgery in Menai Bridge but it is obvious that people prefer to phone or call at my home where there is always an open door. I have had personal satisfaction from representing the area and being of assistance. Councillor Alun Mummery April 2014 .
