I will be printing my latest FOCUS newsletter this week, which will for the first time be bilingual.  However my cost have risen substantially as a result of having to pay someone to translate it for me.  This has cost about £38 which is about twice the cost of actually printing FOCUS. Is there anyone […]

On Thursday 22/05/08 the Annual Meeting of the Council took place.  This is largely a ceremonial affair with lots of back slapping.  It is also the time when the Councillors find out the committee allocations and cabinet changes. I fully understand why the leader of the Council appoints his cabinet but I do not understand […]

I will be serving on the Planning and rights of way committee.  I will also be on Licensing Committee.  Please get in touch if you have any queries or suggestions.

Bob Kilmister was delighted by the turnout in Dinas Cross Ward where 65.41% of people voted, which was the highest recorded in Pembrokeshire, nearly 20% above the average.  ” It shows that when you involve people in politics as I have done through Focus, they are not apathetic”, said Bob.  Bob is improving Focus further and […]

Please make sure you vote on Thursday May 1st. ” I would rather you voted against me, than to not vote at all.  Apathy must not be the winner in these local elections”,  said Bob Kilmister.  Bob is hoping that the turnout in the Dinas ward will be higher than the 59% who voted in […]

Bob Kilmister believes that the word Independent is causing great confusion on the ballot paper in Pembrokeshire.  There are 56 people using this term for the elections on 1st May.  In one seat there are five separate Independent candidates.  What is an Independent?  “I believe it is someone who is not a member of any […]

A planning application has been submitted to Pembrokeshire County Council to reclame and re-use slate spoil at Cronllwyn Quarry Llanychaer.  Members of the public have until 25th April 2008 to send in their representations.  Please make sure you do this. I have been asked for my views on this application by several people. It is […]

Bob Kilmister has written again to Pembrokeshire County Council asking them to impose a speed limit in this village.  This time Bob has quoted Department of Transport circular 01/2006 as evidence that a speed limit is justified.  Llanychaer qualifies on several counts if these guidelines are followed.  The advice from the government is very different […]
