It is vitally important that we ensure the council accounts for every penny it spends along with giving excellent service. With that in mind, we are proud to present to you, the people of Carmarthenshire, our manifesto. In this manifesto we aim to lay out our priorities for the next five years. We will create a modern, transparent Council, bringing greater openness and transparency to council business, engaging with our electorate, consulting appropriately and taking the necessary action in an honest manner. We willreview the way we deliver services to the most vulnerable in our society, putting service before profit within social care. Our priority will be to put the care of the individual at the very top. We will continue where we left off in housing, by re-starting our council house building programme. We are proud of our record in power, being the first Council in Wales to end right to buy, first Council in Wales to build council homes since the 1980s and investing £220 million on improving our housing stock. A Labour-led Carmarthenshire Council will continue this work. We want to build a future for all our young people in Carmarthenshire, giving them an opportunity to secure a good education and future employment opportunities. We will aim to build strong cohesive bilingual communities throughout Carmarthenshire, seeking to create a municipal bus company in collaboration with neighbouring authorities to improve the transport links between communities. We ask all our citizens to take more pride in keeping our streets and open spaces free from litter and dog fouling, but our resolve will be to take all necessary action to support this vitally important aim. We believe that Carmarthenshire will succeed when working people succeed, and we will work tirelessly to grow our local economy, by creating more in-house jobs, employing more apprentices and attracting inward investment. These are our promises in the upcoming Council elections, and together for Carmarthenshire we will deliver for our local commmunities. Cllr. Jeff Edmunds Leader of Carmarthenshire Labour Group - 2 - Delivering Excellence in Education Ensuring that all children in our County achieve their full potential, regardless of their background, remains a key priority for Labour in Carmarthenshire. Labour is proud of its record in building new schools in Carmarthenshire and we are pleased that Carmarthenshire is one of the leading Counties in Wales as far as education provision is concerned. The “Modernisation of Education Programme” has revolutionised education in Carmarthenshire, and Labour intends to continue with the good work. There still remain a number of decrepit school buildings, some dating to Victorian times, and Labour will ensure that the programme of replacing these buildings continues. Carmarthenshire Labour supports the Welsh Government’s bold strategy for there to be one million Welsh speakers by 2050. To support this goal, Labour in Carmarthenshire will seek to improve access to Welsh-medium education across the County. We believe that parental and pupils’ choice to study in their preferred language is an important right that must be protected. Where there is a need for increasing the provision of Welsh-medium education, Labour will seek to work with communities to reach a consensus on how this should be delivered. We understand that schools must be adaquetely funded to deliver excellent education to our children. Labour will ensure that schools are properly funded in Carmarthenshire, with a view to maintaining the financial support given each year to schools, so as to make certain that school budgets do not diminish: that is to say that school budgets will be ‘inflation proofed’. We understand the importance of children eating nutrious meals throughout the day, aiding their development and attention. Hard-pressed families are finding it difficulty to keep up with the yearly increases for school meals and Labour will support these families by WHAT WE ACHIEVED freezing the price of school meals for the next three years. - Investment of £231m in the modernisation of our schools.

  • 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.
