I have met with officers and residents to consider the possible options. Village events - I have organised successful Coffee Mornings in Tycroes Village Hall as well as a successful Christmas Fayre. As part of the Local Aid Committee I have worked to deliver events such as the Firework display, the Twmpath and the Wine and Mince Pies evening. I have supported as many events and groups in the village as possible. Surgeries - I have held regular joint surgeries with the Police as well as holding a joint surgery with Lee Waters, AM. I am always available for contact by phone or email and am happy to make house calls. I met with the Police Commissioner to discuss how the Police we can work together with the community. Pedestrian crossing - I successfully (with Lee Waters, AM) secured Welsh Government backing for a pedestrian crossing assessment to be undertaken. The assessment was carried out in the Spring and I will be informed of the findings when they have been analysed. Planning matters - I have attended planning committees, raising issues and supporting residents. Mobile Library – At my request the Mobile Library is now calling in the village every Thursday morning. I encourage everyone to use this service as much as possible. Footpaths – I am working on registering footpaths and issues that have been raised e.g. blocked footpaths. Litter Pick - A successful litter pick was held in February. Several residents came along and we were also supported by Nia Griffith, MP and Lee Waters, AM. I report litter spots regularly and will continue to do so. Highways issues including speeding – I met with the Head of Highways for Carmarthenshire County Council and showed him the problem spots in the ward which need to be addressed. Suffrage presentation – I gave a presentation about ‘The Suffrage Movement’ and the fight for women’s right to vote at Llanelli Town Hall as part of International Women’s Day. Visit to the Senedd – I attended the Tycroes Friendship Group trip to the Senedd which included a tour. Litter – At my request more bins have been installed in the village and are emptied regularly. Health – I met with the Practise Manager of Margaret Street Surgery to discuss how we can work together to assist residents. Housing – Many housing issues have been raised and I have supported residents and worked with officers to resolve these issues.

  • Calum Higgins
    Dear Resident The purpose of this report is to keep you informed of some of the issues I have dealt with on your behalf during 2014/15. Real progress has been made in respect of these and I hope that you will find this information of interest. Local Member Activities Subjects Main Issues Planning Ffordd Y Deri I opposed an application for 27 houses at Ffordd Y Deri, on the basis that highways and flooding would be an issue. Unfortunately, despite local opposition it was passed by the Planning Committee. I am now concentrating on making sure the village gets the best deal in community payments. Parc Gwernen Although a planning application for the second phase of housing at Parc Gwernen was successful last year. I objected to the application's terms unless provision was made for a pavement along Tycroes Road and flooding issues were rectified before development. The application was granted, but the developer will be required to pay around £50,000 for a pavement along Tycroes Road and contribute towards play areas in Tycroes. The developer will not be allowed to build until remedial drainage works have been completed. Education & Children Tycroes CP School is growing and improving. As Chair of Governors I am very proud of the hard work put into the School by staff, parents, and children. The School's attendance rates have improved significantly. Regeneration and Leisure I have worked with Llanedi Community Council to support more applications for grants to renew our playing facilities. Betws Wind Farm Grant Following successful grant applications, funds have been secured for developing new changing rooms at Tycroes RFC.
