MATTERS ARISING
Budget Plan
It was reported that the Council had spent £17,122.99 (which included bank charges) since the start of the new financial year and this was £2,473.04 less expenditure than what was earmarked in the budget for the year.
Village Bus Shelter
The Clerk reported that she had forwarded a request for a bus shelter in the village from Rosy Berry to Gwynedd Council and she had received a reply stating that at this time the Council does not receive Welsh Government funding for the installation of new shelters but some Community/Town Councils are purchasing some of their own. Also stating that it was understood that all Councils in Wales needed to apply next year for funding to put new shelters or replace the old ones and asking if she wanted to put the site on this list and the Clerk declared that she had been asked to do this. ‘There was another email received from Rosy Berry along with a picture showing a seat that would be suitable for temporary installation at the location in question with also an email stating that the Council had to act on this as she thought there should at least be a seat at this location and she had been waiting half an hour for a bus and standing for a long time was a problem for some elderly people. Following discussion it was agreed to purchase a seat to place on a temporary measure near the bus stop sign and move it to the Maes in Llandanwg once the bus shelter was installed.
