  • 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.

  • Evidence Review of the Trophic Status of the Milford Haven Waterway
    Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the available evidence relating to the trophic status of the Milford Haven waterway and to recommend whether a case for designation as a Polluted Water (Eutrophic) should be made under the terms of the Nitrates Directive. The report reviews available data and compliance with other relevant European directives. The EC Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) requires that waters which are eutrophic due to nitrates derived from agricultural sources, or are at risk of becoming so unless preventative action is taken, must be identified as Polluted Waters (Eutrophic) and areas of land draining into these waters, and which contribute to their nitrogen pollution, must be designated as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs). Opportunistic macroalgae, phytoplankton and nutrient data have been reviewed in this and previous studies undertaken for the Nitrates, Urban Waste Water Treatment and Water Framework (WFD) directives. Milford Haven waterway is at Moderate status and hypernutrified compared to WFD nutrient standards. Phytoplankton blooms do not occur in the waterway, but within the sheltered bays and inlets there is widespread and often dense growth of opportunistic macroalgae species, primarily Ulva sp. Evidence from WFD monitoring in the Milford Haven Inner water body shows that dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) levels are Moderate and this is reflected in the opportunistic macroalgae classification, which also achieves Moderate status. Therefore, this transitional water body is currently failing to meet Good status, which is required for WFD compliance by 2027. The WFD DIN classification demonstrates that the waters of the Milford Haven Outer water body are also at Moderate status and are hyper-nutrified according to WFD standards, but assessments did not demonstrate failures of phytoplankton or opportunistic macroalgae quality elements at water body level.

  • Pembrokeshire
    1 Town Tree Cover in Pembrokeshire Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Pembrokeshire will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local authorities Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will deliver the greatest
