The Clerk was instructed to take both these matters up with the SWEB Commercial Engineer.

Members indicated that they would like to inspect the numbered plan of the Estate and the Clerk undertook to obtain a copy thereof for the next Meeting.

The Clerk reported on a letter from the Dyfed Transportation Department seeking the Council's views on a proposal by Messrs Davies Bros (Pencader) Ltd to make application to the Traffic Commissioners for permission to operate a circular bus route serving Tregynnwr, Elder Grove and Login Road in place of the existing split service operated by two companies.
