I've been your councillor for a full year now, so thought I'd share with you some of the
highlights from the last 12 months, from in our ward and general council related stuff. I know
that many of you have frustrations with PCC and there's been lows, hard decisions made and
financially difficult times still to come... BUT we rarely shout out about the good goings on, so
here goes:
* The amazing community spirit seen during the snow periods * The 20mph speed limit outside Trewern school is on its way
* Getting community improvement conditions on planning applications in Trewern & Middletown (additional
street lighting, monies towards school car park improvements, recreational facilities (if a site is developed)
* Having my first (seconded) motion to full council, on recognising & encouraging women in local politics,
passed unanimously
* Getting PCC Cabinet approval for a new boiler and heating system at Buttington Trewern School
* A Pentre Gwyn, Trewern Resident winning a Powys Garden of the year award
* So so many sporting achievements by the pupils of Buttington Trewern C.P school
* The start ups of a new Trewern Ladies Social Club, Trewern WI, a Book Club, and the Community Facebook Page
* Persuading a business in Welshpool to allow people to use their own re-usable cups when buying hot drinks
* Being part of the PCC Employment, Education and Children's Scrutiny and Democratic Services Committees
where I'm able to scrutinise, put my teacher and lawyering skills to good use and really try to make a difference.
* Finding a milkman who's now delivering to our area - please let me know if this is wanted in your area,
* A productive and really well attended drop in surgery with Russ George I'm sure there are more, including a
few other highways things. I will keep on shouting out about the potholes and drains that constantly need doing
and making the case for improvement works needed in our ward (some of which are hopefully already in the
pipeline). I have recently asked for the pot holes to be fixed around Welsh Harp Hollow roads along to the
border and around Trelystan roads.
KInd regards, Councillor Amanda Jenner, Local Member for Trewern, Middletown, Buttington and Hope
