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

Having conducted a feasibility study last year for the pool and park area, and analysing the results, the outcome was that a community park was definately the prefered option with 98% of the respondees stating they would prefer a community park.
As a result of this the county council and pool committee have since drawn up plans for redevelopment of the park, with the top items selected in the feasibility consultation included in the plans.
We set up a public exhibition for one week in the rugby club, and on the very first evening two families had arrived and spoke to myself before the plans were even set up for display and i've had 8 more phones calls by residents to discuss the proposals, i was told by staff at the rugby club that hundreds had called to the club over the week to view the plans.
I had leaflet dropped more than 800 houses advertising the public exhibition plus the event was advertised on face book and the llanelli star.
