5. Public Questions

Robin Griffiths wished to welcome the new Councillors, then proceeded to ask asked one questions and paid one compliment. 1. He was unhappy that the school children of Llangunnor had not received a personal copy of the “Queen’s Jubilee Handbook” that had been made available to every child attending school in England and wanted an official response from the Council as to why this had not happened. The Chair again pointed that the Community Council had no input into this matter, as it had been devolved to the Senedd in Cardiff Bay, and as such we were not in a position to provide a letter. Cllr Sandra Thomas advised that she had recently spoken to the Headmaster at Llangunnor School, who had agreed to investigate matters further, and would update her further once he had news. Robin Griffiths was still not happy, but as the Chair stressed regrettably it was outside our area of jurisdiction, and as such we could merely pass on his concerns and observations to the local Headmaster which Cllr Thomas had actioned. Robin Griffiths also wished to share that he had noticed that Carmarthen Town Council were including within their Agenda details of their Zoom connection facility for members of public wishing to attend virtually. The Clerk advised that if virtual meetings were to continue, then he would incorporate this within future agenda notices.
