RESOLVED (a) That the public submission be noted. (b) That the offer of a site meeting at Amroth, to discuss signage, be accepted by the submitter.
Community Councillor Mark Harvey addressed the Committee in support of his public submission in relation to Agenda item No. 9 ‘Enviro Crime’ regarding dog restrictions and beach byelaws/signage. Councillor Harvey began his five minute allocation to speak to the matter by highlighting concerns he previously raised with the Committee in September 2025 regarding outdated byelaws for Amroth and Wiseman’s Bridge beaches, and inconsistencies between beach signage and online information. It was reiterated that Amroth Community Council had offered to work with Pembrokeshire County Council on reviewing and improving the summer animal restrictions but had not been contacted by the Task and Finish Group established since that meeting. Disappointment was expressed at the lack of engagement and concern that, with 2026 dog restrictions due to begin shortly, proposed updated signage may still contain errors and it was emphasised that Blue Flag criteria apply to all domesticated animals, noting that Amroth byelaws differ for dogs and horses, which contributed to ongoing confusion. In summing up, Councillor Harvey warned that the current recommendations appear likely to maintain inconsistencies in animal?related controls within the Amroth area for the 2026 season. Following Councillor Harvey’s address, the Chair invited the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents' Services to provide a response. The Cabinet Member thanked Councillor Harvey for returning to outline the Community Council’s concerns and confirmed that a Task and Finish Group had been examining environmental crime issues in a broad context, not limited to dog restrictions. It was advised that changes to the relevant byelaws were expected to be progressed in the coming year and that any amendments would be subject to full public consultation. It was stressed that the community’s views were not being overlooked, but that internal preparatory work was required before consultation could begin. The points raised regarding improved signage and wider management considerations were noted and it was stated that they would be incorporated into ongoing work. The Chair welcomed the Public Realm Manager, the Chief Environmental Services Officer and the Leisure Services Manager to the meeting to partake in the discussion and answer questions. In response to questions raised by Councillor Di Clements, the Public Realm Manager explained that the 2025 season operated as a “warning and informing” year, following the earlier agreement of the Committee but stated that the contract which supported the approach, ended in August 2025 and was not renewed as anticipated. It was stated that the Task and Finish Group had been considering whether future arrangements should involve amending existing byelaws or moving towards a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) which would be particularly complex in Amroth, where separate byelaws apply to dogs and to horses, each with different operational periods. It was highlighted that amending a byelaw was a lengthy process requiring full consultation and would take a minimum of 12 months to complete, as such, there was insufficient time to implement changes for the forthcoming season, so the work now focused on identifying a long?term, sustainable approach to dog restrictions and related beach management issues, rather than short?term measures. Councillor Mark Carter expressed sympathy with the Community Council and stated that as a Member of the Task and Finish Group he did not recall any input from the Community Council, despite their request. Councillor Harvey highlighted ongoing concerns regarding beach signage, noting that inconsistencies between signs, maps, and the byelaws continue to cause confusion for visitors. It was stated that he understood that while the byelaws could not be amended in time for the 2026 season, it was disappointing that Amroth Community Council had not been consulted on the development of new signage. The Public Realm Manager advised that the signs had not yet been ordered so extended an offer to Councillor Harvey and the Community Council, to meet the Public Realm team on site to discuss signage, which was welcomed. Councillor Di Clements raised concerns that the Community Council had not been invited to the Task and Finish Group to provide their input and queried what could be done to ensure that any such requests, in future, are passed on and actioned. In response, the Cabinet Member expressed that the Task and Finish Group should take greater ownership of its agenda and the direction of its work, rather than relying solely on Officers. The Chair suggested that it would be beneficial for a formal paper trail to be sent from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee to the Task and Finish Group so the matters are directly referred to the Group which would ensure issues were clearly recorded and formally brought to the group’s attention (AP). Moved by Councillor Di Clements; Seconded by Councillor Terry Davies The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED (a) That the public submission be noted. (b) That the offer of a site meeting at Amroth, to discuss signage, be accepted by the submitter.

Following on from the public submission, the Committee continued to discuss Enviro Crime matters, as outlined within the report by the Interim Head of Transport and Environment. It was reiterated that the Public Realm Manager, the Chief Environmental Services Officer and the Leisure Services Manager were in attendance to answer questions. The Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents' Services emphasised the need for Members to be satisfied with the proposed operating model for environmental enforcement, which involved an in?house enforcement team supported by an external back?office function. The main challenges were outlined and included securing funding, as establishing an initial team of two officers, including necessary transport, would require resources not currently available within existing budgets or from income generated through previous enforcement activity. The Committee was asked if it was content with developing the proposed model and exploring potential funding sources. The Committee debated the contents of the report and the key points were highlighted as follows: · Following a question raised by the Chair as to when the byelaws would be addressed, the Public Realm Manager advised that the matter would be one for the Committee to decide. · Councillor Mark Carter raised concerns regarding newly installed signage observed at Newgale beach and highlighted that the accompanying map remained inaccurate, an issue which had been highlighted for several years. Clarification was sought as to whether an inaccurate map on official signage could be used as a defence by anyone issued with a fixed penalty for breaching dog restrictions. In response, the Public Realm Manager took on board the points raised by Councillor Carter and accepted that clarity issues remained and would be considered. It was clarified that fixed penalties would not be issued for the 2026 season as the same ‘warning and informing’ approach as conducted in 2025 would be deployed due to not having a sufficient team in place to administer the penalties. · Councillor Tom Tudor made reference to the new graphics being used on the warning signs and commented that the ‘eyes’ graphic had been raised as scary to children. In response, the Public Realm Manager explained that the ‘eye’ signage referenced was part of a nationally recognised campaign designed to promote cleaner communities and reduce dog?fouling. It was noted that while feedback on the design had been mixed, the signs had generated noticeable public discussion and visibility, which Officers considered beneficial for encouraging compliance but would be reviewed as part of future work. [Councillor Chris Williams joined the meeting at this juncture.] · Councillor Rhys Jordan expressed frustration at the lack of progress regarding dog restrictions and wider enforcement issues after several years of discussion. Support was expressed for moving towards timed dog?access restrictions rather than full bans and a request was made for Officers to explain why the report indicated that timed restrictions would create significant additional costs. It was also observed that responsible dog owners typically avoid busy periods on beaches and questioned the emphasis placed on Blue Flag water?quality requirements, given wider pollution concerns such as sewage discharges. In response, the Assistant Chief Executive/Director of Place Officers explained that while Council’s were not required to impose dog bans on beaches, a Blue Flag designation could not be maintained unless a dog ban was in place and enforced for the period of the Blue Flag season, but added that only the minimum section of beach needed for the designation must be restricted. It was highlighted that Pembrokeshire currently had only two beaches with full dog bans, while many others allow dogs on substantial areas and Members were therefore asked to consider the value they place on retaining Blue Flag status. · Councillor Viv Stoddart supported the proposal for CCTV cameras to tackle fly?tipping and highlighted previous difficulties securing similar surveillance for hotspots in her ward despite available grant funding. A request was made for rural hotspots to be specifically considered in future funding bids and grant submissions to ensure they are included in any plans. In response, the Chief Environmental Services Officer confirmed that grant funding had been secured to purchase three mobile CCTV cameras for deployment at identified fly?tipping hotspots. It was stated that the cameras had been ordered, and all necessary data protection assessments and notification letters had been completed. Members were advised that the cameras would be used on a trial basis and relocated regularly, supported by accompanying education and awareness activity. · Councillor Tony Wilcox queried whether it was the intent to outsource the ‘warn and inform’ work and in future the penalty serving work, or was it hoped that it could be conducted by an internal team. In response, the Public Realm Manager advised that the Task and Finish group had expressed that the preferred option would be for the work to be undertaken in-house. · Councillor Di Clements asked how the Committee would be informed if the proposed recommendations could not be delivered due to insufficient funding, and whether the Committee would then need to reconsider the recommendations in light of any funding shortfall. In response, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents' Services confirmed that delivery of the recommendations depended on securing funding, which would be explored and advised that updates on funding and feasibility could be reported through the Task and Finish Group and then via an update to the Committee (AP). Moved by Councillor Di Clements; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter The vote, undertaken by way of a roll call, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion:For the Motion: Councillors Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Terry Davies, Brian Hall, Viv Stoddart, Anji Tinley, Tom Tudor, Tony Wilcox and Chris Williams [9] Against the Motion: Councillor Rhys Jordan [1] [Councillor Chris Williams abstained from voting as he was not present during consideration of the entire item of business.] RESOLVED (a) That the progress made through the Task and Finish group be noted.

RESOLVED That a referral be made for Cabinet to: (a) Undertake a review of fees and charges at Parc Gwyn Crematorium, with particular regard to the cost of direct cremation, to ensure that pricing is competitive and broadly aligned with neighbouring crematoria. (b) Commission a comprehensive review of the Crematorium’s future operational model, including service delivery, efficiency, value for money, and long-term financial sustainability, with the findings to be reported to the Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee for consideration and scrutiny prior to any final Cabinet decision.
The Committee considered a report by the Director of Place/Assistant Chief Executive regarding Crematorium Services. The Chair welcomed the Assistant Chief Executive/Director of Place, Strategic Business Manager, Head of Transport and Operations and the Finance Manager to the meeting to partake in the discussion and answer questions. The Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents' Services introduced the report stating that an initial report on Parc Gwyn Crematorium was presented to the Committee in November 2025, followed by a site visit and requests from Members for further information. It was stated that the updated report provided the requested financial information and further information was provided in relation to the three houses on the site and Members were requested not to discuss individual tenancy details in public session. It was stated that the report also summarised issues raised at the Funeral Directors meeting on 11 February 2026 and outlined that a public open day would be held in the summer as part of wider consultation on current and future services. Reference was made to pressures on cemetery capacity and the need to monitor burial services alongside crematorium operations. The Cabinet Member concluded by inviting Members to consider future options for Parc Gwyn, including operational models, investment requirements, pricing, and the impact of increasing cremation slot times. The Committee debated the contents of the report and the key points were highlighted as follows: · The Chair began by praising the visit to the crematorium, expressing that it was a highly informative morning and alleviated initial anxieties about its operations. It was stated that in her opinion the visit provided clear insight into processes, challenges, and planned improvements, and demonstrated the dedication of the staff. The visit was stated to have highlighted the complexity and importance of the work undertaken and thanks were expressed to Officer’s for organising and supporting the visit. Councillor Tony Wilcox concurred with these thoughts. · Councillor Rhys Jordan made reference to direct cremations, noting that the Authority had not proposed competing with large national providers, but stated that he wished to ensure that residents choosing direct cremation could access an affordable service locally. It was stated that current price differences result in some funeral directors transporting Pembrokeshire residents out of county for cremation, which he felt was inappropriate and suggested that Parc Gwyn’s direct cremation fees be brought in line with nearby competitors. In response, the Director of Place/Assistant Chief Executive reminded Members that approximately 94% of cremations at Parc Gwyn were attended rather than direct cremations, and that attended services were currently around £200 cheaper than equivalent services offered by nearby private providers. Members were asked to consider the implications of any proposal to outsource the service or to match private?sector pricing as it was stated that if the Council intended to align with private providers for lower direct?cremation fees, it must also consider whether this would imply increasing prices for attended services to match the wider private?sector market. · Regarding costs, it was highlighted by Councillor Rhys Jordan that while neighbouring crematoria charge around £200 more for attended services, their service slots were also 25% longer, so when adjusted for service length, the cost difference was minimal. It was also highlighted that competitors use a tiered pricing structure, offering lower?cost options during less popular times of day. · Councillor Rhys Jordan emphasised the high quality, dignity, and professionalism observed at Parc Gwyn, but acknowledged that the site was costly to run, was not a statutory service, and required significant investment. The need to respond to professional feedback from funeral directors was highlighted, noting that Parc Gwyn was falling behind competitors in areas such as digital memorial services and audio?visual facilities, and that the current layout limited capacity for large funerals. · In response to points raised by Councillor Rhys Jordan, the Director of Place/Assistant Chief Executive advised that, should the Council choose to sell or lease Parc Gwyn, a proactive marketing exercise would be undertaken and Members were asked to consider the implications of private?sector operation, noting that a single operator would likely hold a monopoly in Pembrokeshire. Members were encouraged to reflect on what tangible benefits private?sector ownership would deliver for residents, given that operators would seek to make a profit. · The Chair concurred with the need to lengthen slots in line with competitors and stated that whilst a service was not discretionary it did not mean that it was best delivered by the private sector, which was a view also shared by Councillors John Cole, Tony Wilcox, Tom Tudor and Mark Carter. · Councillor Viv Stoddart questioned why the crematorium generated a surplus rather than operating on a full cost?recovery basis and noted that while some reserves were prudently set aside for future cremator replacement, additional profit was returned to the main budget, which she felt was inappropriate. · Supported was expressed by Councillors Viv Stoddart, Rhys Jordan and Di Clements for exploring marketing and private?sector interest and they stressed the need to offer direct cremations locally at competitive prices. · In response to clarification sought by the Chair, the Strategic Business Manager clarified that direct cremations currently made up 6% of current cremations carried out at Parc Gwyn. In summing up, it was clear that one of Members key concern was whether any surplus from the crematorium should benefit private shareholders if the service were outsourced, or continue to benefit the people of Pembrokeshire, which was the current arrangement. Councillor Rhys Jordan Moved that Cabinet be requested to; (a) Undertake a review of fees and charges at Parc Gwyn Crematorium, with particular regard to the cost of direct cremation, to ensure that pricing is competitive and broadly aligned with neighbouring crematoria. (b) Commission a comprehensive review of the crematorium’s future operational model, including service delivery, efficiency, value for money, and long-term financial sustainability, with the findings to be reported to the Services Overview & Scrutiny Committee for consideration and scrutiny prior to any final Cabinet decision. which was seconded by Councillor Terry Davies. The vote, undertaken by way of a roll call, was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Mark Carter, Di Clements, John Cole, Terry Davies, Brian Hall, Rhys Jordan, Viv Stoddart, Anji Tinley, Tom Tudor, Tony Wilcox and Chris Williams [11] There were no votes against the motion or abstentions. RESOLVED That a referral be made for Cabinet to: (a) Undertake a review of fees and charges at Parc Gwyn Crematorium, with particular regard to the cost of direct cremation, to ensure that pricing is competitive and broadly aligned with neighbouring crematoria. (b) Commission a comprehensive review of the Crematorium’s future operational model, including service delivery, efficiency, value for money, and long-term financial sustainability, with the findings to be reported to the Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee for consideration and scrutiny prior to any final Cabinet decision.

RESOLVED (a) That the progress made by the multi-agency working group be noted. (b) That the Task and Finish group be reconvened to discuss the outstanding matters of financial support and options for horses that have been removed. (c) For a final report, informed by the Task and Finish group, to be considered by the Committee at a future meeting.
The Committee considered a report by the Head of Transport and Operations regarding an update on the Fly Grazing procedure. The Chair reminded Members that the report was circulated as a supplementary agenda, by Democratic Services, on Monday, so was not contained within the main agenda pack. The Head of Transport and Operations was welcomed to the meeting to partake in the discussion and answer questions. The Cabinet Member with responsibility for Residents' Services introduced the report and stated that it outlined progress on tackling fly?grazing and recommended that the Committee note the work completed, reconvene the Task and Finish Group to address outstanding issues around financial support and options for horses, and consider a final report at a future meeting. It was stated that it summarised the subgroup’s findings and relevant legislation, acknowledging the complexity of the issues and due to staffing changes, the Interim Head of Transport and Environment had requested a further Task and Finish meeting to fully understand the matter and develop a structured protocol, including an assessment of potential costs. In summing up, Members were asked for patience while the additional steps were completed. In response to points raised by Councillor Tony Wilcox, the Head of Transport and Operations stated that no horses had been removed by the Council, although some had been moved by others following engagement, and improved community co-operation and fewer complaints had been noted. It was emphasised that fly?grazing was a complex issue spanning multiple services and required an organisation?wide approach rather than isolated responsibility. Moved by Councillor Di Clements; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter The vote, undertaken by way of a show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED (a) That the progress made by the multi-agency working group be noted. (b) That the Task and Finish group be reconvened to discuss the outstanding matters of financial support and options for horses that have been removed.

(c) That the most recent minutes of the group be shared to Committee Members and included in future updates.
The Committee considered a report by the Head of Property and Construction Services regarding an update on the Strategic Asset Management Group (SAMG). The Chair advised that the relevant Cabinet Member, Councillor Paul Miller, Deputy Leader of Council and Cabinet Member for Place, the Region, Climate Change and Rural Affairs, had sent apologies, so welcomed the Operational and Strategic Estate Manager to the meeting to partake in the discussion and answer questions. The Operational and Strategic Estate Manager provided a brief update on the planned review of the Strategic Asset Management Group, noting that a formal recommendation would be brought to Scrutiny later in the year. It was stated that the Head of Property and Construction had now had time to settle into the Authority, and the intention was to ensure the group’s remit and approach aligned with the wider corporate property strategy. In response to questions raised by Councillor Brian Hall, it was agreed that specific land matters should be raised outside of the meeting, with Officers. Councillor Di Clements sought clarification as to what was being requested of the Committee, to which the Assistant Chief Executive/Director of Place stated that Committee may wish to identify any specific issues or aspects it would like the Strategic Asset Management Group to consider as part of its review. It was added that the purpose was to ensure the group was appropriately structured, had suitable terms of reference, and was positioned to carry out its intended role, with any comments from the Committee feeding into further recommendations. Following a request made by Councillor Di Clements, it was agreed by the Assistant Chief Executive/Director of Place that the most recent minutes of the SAMG would be shared with Committee Members and included in future updates (AP).
