  • 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.

  • TR8. Ammanford to Pontarddulais April 2018
    Heart of Wales Line Trail Route Instructions to Walkers Ammanford to Pontarddulais (14 km) 1. Leave Ammanford railway station, turn right into Station Road and left at the main junction. Turn right into College Street (A483) to walk through town, passing the bus station on the left, to the junction corralled by railings. Cross the road to proceed ahead along Quay Street, a pedestrianised area which leads to a sculpture depicting the mining heritage of the town. Go ahead again at the first roundabout, passing by the Railway Hotel, and through gates over the Amman Valley railway line. Continue to another roundabout and aim towards the bridge in Park Street over the River Amman. However, go right immediately before the bridge on a surfaced path alongside the river. Follow this down to the rear of the Tesco supermarket where you cut right across a road (currently a dead end) to join the walk and cycling route to Pantyffynnon which also happens to be the Fair Trade Way at this point. This runs along the back of the supermarket, then left alongside security fencing and the railway track. 2. You reach a junction. For those finishing a walk at Pantyffynnon railway station go over the tracks again and turn left for the station, about 5 minutes at most. Otherwise, go left at the junction to continue. If you are starting your walk at Pantyffynon railway station leave the platform next to the level crossing and go right along Pantyffynon Road. Look for a road off to the right across the railway line and keep ahead to join the main route.

    Oliver Stewart RAIB Recommendation Handling Manager T: 020 7282 3864 M: 07710069402 E-mail [email protected] 4 December 2020 Mr Andrew Hall Deputy Chief Inspector of Rail Accidents Cullen House Berkshire Copse Rd Aldershot Hampshire GU11 2HP Dear Andrew, RAIB Report: Near-miss at Llandovery level crossing, Carmarthenshire on 6 June 2013 I write to provide an update1 on the action taken in respect of recommendation 5 addressed to ORR in the above report, published on 15 May 2014. The annex to this letter provides details of actions taken in response to the recommendation and the status decided by ORR. The status of recommendation 5 is ‘Implemented’. We do not propose to take any further action in respect of the recommendation, unless we become aware that any of the information provided has become inaccurate, in which case I will write to you again. We will publish this response on the ORR website on 7 December 2020. Yours sincerely, Oliver Stewart 1 In accordance with Regulation 12(2)(b) of the Railways (Accident Investigation and Reporting) Regulations 2005 Annex A Recommendation 5 The intent of this recommendation is to reduce the risk of error at train crew operated level crossings by providing positive indications of the status of those crossings. Network Rail should review the current arrangements for providing an indication to the train driver of the status of the crossing at Llandovery. This should include consideration of the practicability of providing an active indication when the crossing is still open to road traffic (e.g. a flashing red light).

Whether you want to get connected, get a job, get healthy or get a bargain, using the internet can make everything quicker and easier. This October, people in Carmarthenshire can find out how getting online could save them time, hassle and even money. A series of ‘Click Club’ sessions are being organised across Carmarthenshire.

The sessions are being run by Communities 2.0, the Welsh Government’s digital inclusion initiative, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

Our sessions during Get Online Week are designed for people who have never been online before or want to learn more and are friendly, informal and fun. So even if you’ve always thought the internet is not for you, why not come along and find out what it’s all about. What have you got to lose?” For more details about Click Club during Get Online Week, telephone Communities 2.0 on 01554 752355.
