P-04-417: Save Morfa Beach and Prevent the Closure of Public Footpaths 92 and 93 – Correspondence from Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Dear Naomi, I write following receipt of a letter from William Powell AM, dated 8th April 2013 regarding the above. He has requested details of the date of the Inquiry and the decision made and that the response should be sent direct to you. For background purposes, I would advise you that on the 18th August 2011 the Authority published 3 rights of way orders. One order is to extinguish Footpath 92 Port Talbot that leads down to Morfa Beach, one order is to divert Footpath 93 Port Talbot, the other is to create a new right of way. The aim of the orders is to have a new path that will form part of the Wales Coastal Path that will connect with Bridgend via a new bridge that will span the River Kenfig. Morfa beach is in private ownership and the Footpath 92 Port Talbot, as depicted on the Definitive Map and Statement, stops short of the beach and as far as anyone can ascertain there is no legal access onto the beach. We've had approx 370 objections to the extinguishment order and approx 9 objections to the diversion order (not including petitions). The Legal Department submitted the legal orders to the Planning Inspector (PINs) on the 3rd April 2013 and we're currently awaiting formal acknowledgment. This is unlikely to be received until PINs are satisfied with the submission, as a rigid process with strict timescales will immediately follow the acknowledgement. PINs may be able to give you additional details in relation to the current position as far as they are concerned, should you wish to contact them direct. The objectors will be advised of the date of the Inquiry following its receipt from PINs. Given that the Inquiry has not yet commenced, I am unable to confirm the decision made. I trust that this clarifies the queries raised however should you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me. Nicola Pearce Head of Planning Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council .

Ommatoiulus Moreleti (Lucas) and Cylindroiulus
Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 30 (2018) OMMATOIULUS MORELETI (LUCAS) AND CYLINDROIULUS PYRENAICUS (BRÖLEMANN) NEW TO THE UK (DIPLOPODA, JULIDA: JULIDAE) AND A NEW HOST FOR RICKIA LABOULBENIOIDES (LABOULBENIALES) Steve J. Gregory1, Christian Owen2, Greg Jones and Emma Williams 1 4 Mount Pleasant Cottages, Church Street, East Hendred, Oxfordshire, OX12 8LA, UK. E-mail: [email protected] 2 75 Lewis Street, Aberbargoed. CF8 19DZ, UK. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The schizophylline millipede Ommatoiulus moreleti (Lucas) and the cylindroiuline millipede Cylindroiulus pyrenaicus (Brölemann) (Julida: Julidae) are recorded new for the UK from a site near Bridgend, Glamorganshire, in April 2017. An unidentified millipede first collected in April 2004 from Kenfig Burrows, Glamorganshire, is also confirmed as being C. pyrenaicus. Both species are described and illustrated, enabling identification. C. pyrenaicus is reported as a new host for the Laboulbeniales fungus Rickia laboulbenioides. Summary information is provided on habitat preferences of both species in South Wales and on their foreign distribution and habitats. It is considered likely that both species have been unintentionally introduced into the UK as a consequence of industrial activity in the Valleys of south Wales. INTRODUCTION The genera Ommatoiulus Latzel, 1884 and Cylindroiulus Verhoeff, 1894 (Julida: Julidae) both display high species diversity (Kime & Enghoff, 2017). Of the 47 described species of Ommatoiulus the majority are found in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula (ibid). Currently, just one species, Ommatoiulus sabulosus (Linnaeus, 1758), is known from Britain and Ireland, a species that occurs widely across northern Europe (Kime, 1999) and in Britain reaches the northern Scottish coastline (Lee, 2006).

It’s our job to make sure that air, land and water are looked after by everyone in today’s society, so that tomorrow’s generations inherit a cleaner, healthier world. Our work includes tackling flooding and pollution incidents, reducing industry’s impacts on the environment, cleaning up rivers, coastal waters and contaminated land, and improving wildlife habitats.

Front cover photograph by David Dennis, Environmental Images. Foreword Water is so often taken for granted, especially in Wales. After all, it seems to be raining rather often, so surely there has to be a plentiful supply for all our needs! And our needs are many and varied. All our houses need water; hospitals need water; industries need water; breweries need water; some recreational activities need water, this list is endless, and at the same time we need to ensure that we keep enough water in the rivers to protect the environment. It follows that this precious resource has to be carefully managed if all interests, often conflicting, can be properly served.

Guided Walks and Events Programme Summer 2014
Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS PROGRAMME SUMMER 2014 Most of these walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken. Walking boots, rucksack, hats, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans), spare sweater, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course waterproof jackets and trousers. A whistle and torch should be carried, particularly during the winter months, and a hi-visibility garment would be very useful in case of poor visibility. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice by ringing the walk leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs as a result of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under 18). MOST OF THESE WALKS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED WALKERS - IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OF YOUR ABILITY WHY NOT START OFF WITH A MODERATE WALK TO FIND OUT? Leaders may change or cancel the advertised route due to adverse weather conditions. Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace. Energetic walks generally involve two steep climbs but they will still require determined application. Moderate walks will seldom have steep climbs but if they do the climb will be taken at a relaxed pace. Dogs (well controlled) are permitted unless stated otherwise in the programme. It should be noted that under the CROW Act, when taking dogs onto Open Access land they must be on a fixed lead, no more than two metres long, whenever livestock are near, and at ALL TIMES from 1st March to 31st July.
