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

With the pool now lost forever after a ten year battle, there will be a public meeting on Thursday 30th April.
Those of you that have been reading my weekly Llanelli Star Column, which I also print here in this blog under the Hendy News title, will be aware that a has been a lot of info written about and action taken to try and save the pool, but now we will have to continue to achieve the best possible regeneration scheme for the park.
I've also added lots of extra photos stories and thoughts on this blog about the Hendy Pool campaign.
There was a public exhibition conducted and 98% of the respondees were in favour of a community park which included a splash park,
The county council officers have now drawn up a master plan for the regeneration of the park which will be on display for a week and then the pool committee with officers will be holding a public meetimg to discus the future of the park, i look forward to meeting you there
