  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • Annual Report 2019 – 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 – 2020 Introduction We have had such a busy year in Plant Dewi with so much change. The year began with a big refurbishment to the Plant Dewi Charity Shop – it was unfortunate that we had to close the shop, however, the space looks great now that the work has been completed. An exciting fun day was held in St Davids Cathedral back in September for families that attend Plant Dewi projects. 200 individuals from around the Diocese came together to enjoy arts and crafts, singing and dancing, drum playing and puppet shows. The event was supported by a host of partners including the Mothers’ Union, the Cathedral staff, Siani Sionc and Samba Dock to name a few. Sue Fletcher left her post as Manager and Catrin Evans took over in October 2019. The management team was then joined by Christina Jenkins, Family Support Manager who started in November to oversee the Plant Dewi projects and to manage the staff. We were successful in gaining support from a fundraising coach later on in the year, which has promoted us to develop a new Fundraising Strategy to move the organisation forward. At the beginning of March 2020, we brough 35 staff members and Plant Dewi trustees together for a team building day. We got down to business in the morning with a Safeguarding refresher session, an introduction to St David DCSR and enjoyed a wellbeing session in the afternoon, focusing on the NHS 5 Ways to Wellbeing. It was unfortunate that the projects had to close on the 19th March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    CARMARTHENSHIRE NATURE RECOVERY PLAN – VASCULAR PLANTS Environment (Wales) Act 2016 – Section 7 - Biodiversity lists and duty to take steps to maintain and enhance biodiversity The plant species listed in this table have been identified by Welsh Government as part of a list of species and types of habitat found in Wales that they consider are of key significance to maintain and enhance biodiversity in this country. This list (S7 list) is currently under review by WG and Natural Resources Wales. Public authorities (e.g. WG, councils) must take reasonable steps to maintain and enhance the species and types of habitat included in Section 7, and encourage others to take such steps. By safeguarding these species and habitats, improving their management and raising awareness about them it is hoped that a resilient natural environment in Wales will be sustained into the future. Please refer to www.brc.ac.uk/plantatlas/ for more detailed information about the species listed below. We hope we have included all the S7 species found in the county but errors may occur!

  • The Inventory for This, the Largest, County in Wales, Just Issued by The
    n the Inventory for this, the largest, county in Wales, just issued by the Royal Commission on Ancient Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire, are the following references to Friends' Meeting Houses and Burial Grounds, visited and reported upon by its Inspecting Officer, George Eyre Evans.
