Chairman of Carmarthenshire County Council
I was hugely honoured to take up the role of Chairman of Carmarthenshire County Council last month.
I love representing my community of Swiss Valley and and I'm proud a Swiss Valley councillor is now in this role. It was made better by the fact my parents could be there to enjoy it with Claire and I.
I am looking forward to meeting the very many wonderful people and organisations that pervade our County.
I'll also be doing a short diary which you can follow on this page.
Lower Pennant
An overgrown area of Pennant was recently tidied up having become overgrown after a tree fell down last year.
The tree was removed and the area now looks much tidier.

WELSH WATER - FUNDING UPDATE - JUNE 2026
We are still in legal negotiations with Welsh Water about extending the term of our community adoption to 10 years (its currently 5 years). Having a longer agreement will allow us to plan more and have more freedom to make further improvements and investments.
The next traunch of funding hasn't come through yet until the legal aspects have been dealt with.

RIVERSIDE WALK
The path that runs up to the Lower Swiss Valley Reservoir from opposite the Phil Bennett pub has an official name that you may not be aware of...its the "Riverside Walk", very aptly named. As we approach the summer months I tend to get more calls about this path. the path is not council owned but I am trying to get it so, but that requires the consent of the 3 land owners involved and thus far it hasn't proved possible.
I see this path as a pivotal artery to the reservoir so would like to see it in council hands so we can make improvements to the fencing and the steps, replace benches etc, in the same vein as we have up in the reservoir and hasn't that been a great success!
In the meantime we have had a small improvement to the entrance way to the path which was always muddy, as the picture show. Small steps and all that!!
