Snowdonia National Park
Received an email from the above regarding an update on the review process of the Snowdonia Local Development Plan and asking whether it would be possible for an informal survey to be completed by residents of the Park in order for them to hear the views of local people on key planning policy issues in the area. The deadline for completing the survey is December 12th. The Clerk had already forwarded this to all Members.
Gwynedd Council – Environment Department
Received an email from a Cabinet Member of the above Department asking the Council whether it would be possible for them to take part in the consultation regarding a survey on the Gwynedd Council Waste Strategy by completing the survey by the 30th of this month.

Gwynedd Council – Highways Department
A response has been received from the above stating that the concern regarding an accident that happened on Sarn Hir road has been referred to the Transport Unit in Caernarfon and that they will contact the Council directly. The Clerk reported that no response had been received from them.
Gwynedd Council – Environment Department
A letter along with attachments has been received from the above Department regarding the Consultation as the Council considers introducing a new comprehensive parking order and making changes to the fee structure for pay and display long-stay car parks (band 2 only), implementing £1.55 for 2 hours of parking, with a minimum payment of 4 hours, amounting to £3.85. After a discussion it was unanimously agreed to object to these changes and ask them to leave them as they are because the new charges would effect the buisness of the cafe and many local people who use the car park on a daily basis so as to go for a walk on the beach.
