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

I Keep getting lots of press releases from the Welsh Assembly, about two maybe three a week, i often just skim through them some are interesting some are not .... I've now decided to start including them in this blog as well as my weekly column of community news.
here's december 1st release........
The Labour-led Welsh Assembly Government will be launching a report this week which will give a snapshot of how public authorities are taking account of disability equality in their work.
The Report is to be formally launched by Social Justice Minister Dr Brian Gibbons on Wednesday, which is the International Day of Disabled People. The aim of the report is to assess the extent to which public authorities have interpreted and acted upon the requirements set out in the Disability Equality Duty.
It is the first time a report of this kind has been published by Welsh Ministers.
The Discrimination Act 1995 states that every three years a report about the progress being made towards improving equality of opportunity for disabled people will be published. The Minister said that this report has identified that public authorities are making good progress in meeting their duties under the act.
New cattle testing measures to cut spread of TB
The Assembly Government today announced new changes to bovine TB testing which will help prevent spread of the disease and strengthen the Welsh Assembly Government’s comprehensive programme of actions to eradicate TB in
The key changes to the testing of cattle that are classed as inconclusive reactors under standard interpretation were announced at the Royal Welsh Show Winter Fair held at Llanelwedd today.
Inconclusive reactors are cattle whose skin tests are between clear and reactor. Currently two re-tests must be carried out on inconclusive reactors before they are removed. From 1 March 2009 these inconclusive reactor cattle will be removed following one retest if that test is still inconclusive or shows it to be a reactor. Before that date cattle keepers will be able to opt to have their cattle removed earlier in accordance with the new arrangements.
