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
In 2008 I was sucessfully elected as a county councillor for Carmarthen County CouncilI am involved in the Llanelli CAB

I am also a member of the Pontarddulais and Hendy District Carnival Committee. Which celebrated its 40th year in JUNE 2008.
I have been a member of USDAW since 1989 and I am the Llanelli Usdaw Union Branch Secretary, I have done a lot of campaigning with Usdaw and I often appear in the quarterly magazine that gets published and sent to Usdaw Members, here's just one example
I have also been Hendy community councillor on Llanedi Community Council since 2004
In May 2008. As a county councillor for Hendy on the Carmarthen County Council elections.
I sit on several scrutiny committees
This Blog contains a mixture of White Springs News, Community news from Hendy and some political comments and activities, hope you enjoy your visit
This morning I went over to the local school, because I had had a consultation letter from the planning department, asking for my opinion on a planning application made by welsh water, for those that are observant and wondering why have they been digging up Hendy Green, they are modernising the sewerage system.
Welsh Water had applied for planning and had consulted over the Hendy Green site , and next job they want to do is over the school, they want to replace a chamber in the sewerage system up there by the dissussed gate way and have been consulting with the school and the education department over the work, so i went to look at the site this morning, because I have a scrutiny site meeting scheduled for Friday in Llanelli when some of the school govenors will be meeting to discuss and I had asked the Head Master to send my appologies.
After this meeting with the head master at the school I then went and attended a second meeting i had in my dairy with two county council officers in the Tumble Ranger's Office, to review the regeneration of the park and the grant application process which i blogged about earlier in this blog, and i'm hoping there will be only one meeting scheduled in July to finalise the particular application process although there will be more the first stage grant is closing in August. So watch this space
Nia Griffith MP had emailed me late last night for a Carmarthen Tesco employee's telephone number, because she wanted their help to leaflet drop for the Labour party in the morning in their village they lived,
When i told Nia Griffith my schedule and that i would be in Tumble today, she said that after they had done the first village in the morning, the team would be in Ponthenri after lunch leaflet dropping for her 4.30pm to 5.30pm surgery in the afternoon, with the Ponthenri, Labour Rose and I was asked would I finish in time to pop over to Ponthenri from Tumble.
So off I went to join the team that had almost finished their quota of leaflets although they had saved a few streets for me,
As well as the usual surgery notice they were putting out the news letter
