Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I soon started adding info on the fishery website page of my community activities, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com
Info about me

This Blog contains a mixture of White Springs News, Community news from Hendy and some political comments and activities, hope you enjoy your visit
I think I need to refer back to an earlier entry in my blog
http://grasscarper.bravejournal.com/archive/01/17/2009
Which refers to the tri school reforms that the assembly are asking county councils to address
basically Peter Hughes Griffiths leader of the Plaid County Council group was shouting wolf that the county council were acting in secracy,
I had to write this further comment today because the issue has already been touched upon, in the Carmarthen Journal page 8 Wednesday 14th January 2009
In it Kevin Madge stated that if councillors do not attend meetings they shouldn't complain at a later date because the school reform was discussed in 2006 and 2007 in the county chambers,
Well today there was an all member seminar/training session on child protection issues and out of 72 possible attendees there were only 19 members present, which included only 8 plaid members and there was no sign of Peter Hughes in the chamber today.
Yet he keeps going on record about secracy when refering to the school reorganisation.
I've written a letter highlighting that the Assembly Plaid Minister was aware of this reform that councils would have to take place which is yet to be published in the journal
