Mr. Roger Mayne

Also stating that other matters need to be considered regarding this road i.e that the coastal path runs up this orad and that many walkers use it and also that Llandanwg station is used regularly and it is not safe to walk down to the beach or in the other direction. Asking the Members to reconsider his offer. It was agreed to contact the Highways Department to ask for their advice regarding placing such lines or would a sign be better.
ANY OTHER MATTER
Cllr. Mair Thomas reproted that a meeting of the hall committee had been held on the 8th of this month and that Cllr. Robert G. Owen had chaired the meeting.

GWYNEDD COUNCIL MATTERS
Cllr.Gwynfor Owen apologised that he had missed past meetings because of illness, that he had been appointed Chair of the Plaid Group in Gwynedd. It was made known that Gwynedd Council Members were disappointed about the delay of the report by the North Wales Safeguarding Committee when publishing their findings into an investigation of student abuse by Neil Foden.

Cllr. Annwen Hughes reported that she had contacted the Highways Department regarding the sign “Llanfair” that had disappeared and that she had been told that a new sign had been ordered by them and this will be installed once it arrives.
