RESOLVED That the Notice of Motion not be adopted.
Cabinet considered a joint report by the Director of Community Services and Head of Infrastructure, which outlined a Notice of Motion that had been referred from Council on 2 March 2023 in the following terms: That council policy be amended to ensure all walkways and associated walls are adopted along with roadways and pathways and that extra funds provided for these estates by the developer are ring fenced for the maintenance of such walkways, walls and amenity areas to improve the health and wellbeing of its residents. Councillor Alan Dennison, the originator of the Motion, spoke in support of his Notice of Motion. In response to the Notice of Motion, Councillor Rhys Sinnett, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents’ Services, introduced the report and explained that the Council did not have a blanket policy in regards to not adopting walkways or walls in private housing estates. Councillor Sinnett stated that the relevant developer needed to enter into a Section 38 agreement with the Local Highway Authority for future adoption of the road on completion, and highlighted that this was a voluntary process for the developer to undertake. He stated that the options to move forward were outlined in the report. Councillor Sinnett then stated that he would be happy to discuss any specific queries further. The Head of Infrastructure welcomed the opportunity for a site visit to explore any further issues with the Cabinet Member and the originator of the Motion. Councillor Jon Harvey confirmed that any issues regarding roads was a Highway matter, rather than a Planning matter. Councillor Alec Cormack stated his support for the recommendation. The Head of Planning confirmed that through the Section 106 agreement, as it was voluntary, the Council would not be able to insist on adoption. Councillor Rhys Sinnett Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Alec Cormack. The vote, undertaken by way of a roll call, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors David Simpson, Paul Miller, Michelle Bateman, Alec Cormack, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, Neil Prior, Rhys Sinnett and Guy Woodham [9] There were no votes against or abstentions.

Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Social Services and Housing which outlined a Notice of Motion that had been referred from Council on 2 March 2023 in the following terms: That any decision taken by PCC in similar circumstances to that of the pandemic response to supply of field hospitals must primarily take into account the financial benefits to the council and ratepayers and not to recommend or endorse any private commercial venture. Councillor Alan Dennison, the originator of the Motion, spoke in support of his Notice of Motion. In response to the Notice of Motion, the Leader stated that Pembrokeshire County Council did not decide which sites to use for a field hospital, which is why the recommendation included that the matter be referred to Hywel Dda University Health Board, as the decision was theirs. Councillor Paul Miller stated that the Council made it clear at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, that any facilities Hywel Dda required would be made available, despite it not being within the Council’s remit to select a site for a field hospital. Councillor Paul Miller Moved the Recommendation. The Chief Executive then stated that he had reviewed all email correspondence and paperwork sent between Council Officers and the Health Board at the time and confirmed that the Council did offer up a number of different options, which included leisure centres and schools, but stated that there was no evidence found of the Council recommending Bluestone over those other options. Seconded by the Leader. The vote, undertaken by way of a roll call, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors David Simpson, Paul Miller, Michelle Bateman, Alec Cormack, Jon Harvey, Tessa Hodgson, Neil Prior, Rhys Sinnett and Guy Woodham [9] There were no votes against or abstentions.

He also stated that due to further work being undertaken by Welsh Government, it would be approximately nine months before a way forward for the projects could be established. Councillor Alec Cormack reported that Welsh Government had stated that whilst the option of both Capital and MIM funding was available, if the Council were to switch to Capital funding, it would not necessarily delay the project. Councillor Tessa Hodgson sought clarification in regards to whether information could be shared regarding the Welsh Government ‘lessons learnt’ exercise, as outlined in the appended Minutes.

[Having previously made a personal and prejudicial interest declaration in this item of business, Councillor Jon Harvey left the meeting.] Cabinet considered a report by the Director of Social Services and Housing which outlined the financial assistance for 2023-24 to Adults’, Children’s and Housing Support (HSG) Services for a number of Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations. Councillor Tessa Hodgson, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Social Care and Safeguarding, introduced the report and stated that the financial assistance outlined in the report was funded through a number of different sources, including external funding streams from Welsh Government and internal Council Revenue Funding. Councillor Hodgson stated that the grants were detailed on page 282 of the agenda, as well as the impact of those grants, including some powerful case studies which highlighted the vital work of the Third Sector and Pembrokeshire.She stated that these grants aligned with the Council’s priorities around the prevention agenda and the aim to build community resilience and resourcefulness. She stated that they were also designed to alleviate the impact of homelessness, child poverty and the aims of the Authority and Welsh Government to keep families together. Councillor Tessa Hodgson Moved the Recommendation; Seconded by Councillor Guy Woodham. Councillor Alec Cormack wished to clarify that on page 281 of the Agenda, the grant listed for Ceredigion Citizens Advice Bureau, was due to the fact that a number of residents in north Pembrokeshire found it easier to visit this location, therefore the grant reflected the service they provided to Pembrokeshire residents. Councillor Neil Prior stated his support for the recommendation and highlighted the important Partners who worked across a whole range of specialisms, and was supportive of the Council supporting their work. He then thanked the Council’s Voluntary Community Sector Partners. Councillor Rhys Sinnett also supported the vital work of Partners and the Voluntary Sector. He then sought clarification as to whether the Council was able to assure that Third Sector work could be funded for more than one year. In response, Councillor Hodgson stated that the team was reviewing the process for how grants were allocated. She stated that she would take Councillor Sinnett’s comment on board and get more information around the issue. Councillor Hodgson also stated that she recognised the challenge of applying for grants each year. The vote, undertaken by way of a roll call, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors David Simpson, Paul Miller, Alec Cormack, Tessa Hodgson, Neil Prior, Rhys Sinnett and Guy Woodham [7] There were no votes against or abstentions.
