Events had been held over the Christmas period and all were a success. No meeting had been held. Councillor L. Rowlands had received approximate costs for the WiFi in the Reading Room. The Invoices would be in the name of Llansadwrn Reading Room.
8. Brownhill Junction
Mr Steffan Davies from NRW had attended the meeting with updates regarding the Woodlands for Llansadwrn. He had prepared a Power Point presentation and explained what had been carried out and what was on going. The main issues were speed limits and entrances on to the main highway, contact had been made with SWTRA but they were not very forthcoming with assistance. Maybe in the future NRW would be considering asking for letters of support from people living in the area, but their discussions with SWTRA were ongoing.
