Pontardawe looks to be having a new Indian take away and the extnsion of an existing Indian eatery that wants to open an additional sit-down area. Do we really need 4 Chinese take-aways, 3 Indian restaurants / take-aways, 4 chip shops, 2 Indian restaurants and a partridge in a pear tree? Whatever happened to shops in Pontardawe????? Maybe TESCO is finally having the impact many thought it, though it has been delayed in coming.
Interestingly the people of Pontardawe don't appear to be overly-obese compared to other areas - have you been to Bridgend recently?
But still we're obsessed it seems with eating out and soon, unless we're careful, that's all we'll be able to do in the town!

Dredging up old myths
Interestingly, at yesterday's CBC planning committee Labour member turned on Labour member, time and time again. Rarely do we have such entertainment but to see the long-in-the-tooth Labour members turn on their cabinet members was quite a sight and very good entertainment though I don't suppose Dai Lewis, of whom I have increasing respect, enjoyed it.
Cllr Dai "Rocks" clearly is either a single minded thinker or is following a seperate agenda to his colleagues. Either way it does give an added impetus to Planning Meetings. How nice it is to observe internal shananigans!

Councillor to stand down at next election
SOURCE: Evening Post, 02.10.07
A Pontardawe councillor will stand down at next year's county elections because of work commitments.
But Plaid's Huw Evans will be seeking re-election to the town council."Being a county councillor in Pontardawe has been a huge honour and one that I've relished," he said."However, it is such a large ward with so many demands, I don't feel I can continue to do the role justice. I have work demands and a young family. I look forward to supporting our new candidates in their endeavours. I know they will be hugely successful locally."
I will remain a county councillor until next May, when I will stand again as a town councillor and look forward to continuing to serve the community to the best of my ability."Former borough councillor Bob Williams and Linet Purcell, who previously stood as Plaid Assembly candidate in Aberavon, will now stand in Pontardawe in place of Councillor Evans.
Elsewhere, Plaid has selected other Swansea Valley candidates for the 2008 local authority and community council elections.Sitting Pontardawe town councillors Dyfrig Harris, Jean Bowen and Bob Williams will once again stand.Gerald James will seek county election for Gwaun-cae-Gurwen.
Cennydd Pugh will stand in Brynaman, and councillor Alun Llewelyn will stand in Ystalyfera.

Thank God for a Smoking Ban!
I enjoyed an afternoon and evening of alcohol fuelled, if subdued, socialising on Saturday before and after the match. It was a good day ending with a curry at the Indian Cottage who fitted us in magnificently despite not booking.
The best bit was waking Sunday morning without a hint of smoke in the air.
The Smoking Ban really is having a very good impact on Wales!

Plaid announce 2008 candidates
PLAID CWM TAWE BRANCH
NAME ’08 CANDIDATES
The Cwm Tawe Plaid Cymru Branch last night met to decide on its 2008 Local Authority and Community Council elections candidates.
Councillor Huw Evans will be standing again for Pontardawe Town Council alongside sitting Councillors Dyfrig Harris, Jean Bowen and Bob Williams. He will not however be standing for NPT County Council for Pontardawe for conflicting work reasons.
He said “Being a County Councillor in Pontardawe has been a huge honour and one that I’ve relished. However it’s such a large ward with so many demands I don’t feel that I can continue to do the role justice. I have work demands and a young family and look forward to supporting our new candidates in their endeavours. I know that they will be hugely successful locally.
“I will remain a County Councillor until next may when I will stand again as a Town Councillor and look forward to continuing to serve the community to the best of my ability.”
Former Borough Councillor Bob Williams and Linet Purcell, who previously stood as Plaid Assembly Candidate in Aberavon, will now stand in Pontardawe with Cllr Huw Evans’ full support.
Elsewhere other County candidates include Gerald James (Gwaun Cae Gurwen), Cennydd Pugh (Brynaman), Cllr Alun Llewelyn (Ystalyfera) and a number of other seats are yet to be decided.
Branch Chairman, Cllr Bob Williams said: “We’re fortunate to have so many strong candidates throughout the area and look forward to contesting all seats in 2008. There is a real momentum behind Plaid and we’re seeing that through our ongoing weekly campaigning.
“We are knocking on doors, canvassing opinion and dealing with every day issues on a weekly basis and expect our hard work to be reflected in next May’s elections.”

What the press miss...
Fascinating debate on Tuesday at Planning. It truly was!
How a councillor could declare "I thought we weren't going to vote for windfarms" during the first debate of the day said it all.
To the lay person it's a passing comment. But in reality it meant that either there is a "party line" - illegal according to Planning law; there is a party whip approach - illegal according to Planning law or that the members had had a pre-meeting and therefore pre-disposed to the outcome of the debate in advance - illegal according to the law again.
Instead, while I was sitting in the wings because I could be considered to have a predisposition to the outcome of the debate (unlike all of my colleagues), I listened to the need for a "site visit".
Why visit a mountain to see whether or not a wind farm should be built on it? Surely this is just going to look like umm a mountain!?
Anyway the delay tactic will buy local councillors 3 more weeks. What a waste of time!

Reason 128 why Ponty's fab
The film club. Why more people don't join I don't know. That fact that they don't eases my stress however as it's a great night out with friendly people, despite being Labour members mostly.
But last night's film "This is England" is everything the film club should be about. Gritty, well acted, challenging and a decent glass of wine to top things off. Utterly accessible and civilised.
This film, based around skin heads in the 1980s should have more period music in though. Otherwise a good night had by all.

Traffic calming. It's not my fault!
Many people have contacted me in regard to the traffic calming measures proposed for the high street in Pontardawe.
As this is happening outside my front door - including permit holder only parking - several have assumed I had something to do with it.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Apparently one resident (unknown) requested a survey and the council duly turned out and performed their duty.
Now we're going to have some yellow lines and some zig-zags (a techincal term) removed and some double yellow lines in their place.
I like other residents are going to have to apply for parking permits. Which I can live with.
The problem is though that we don't have a history of accidents and there doesn't appear to be a consensus of support. Also users of St Peter's Church and Tabernacl Chapel are going to find it increasingly difficult to park - I'm thinking big services, concerts and weddings.
But the deed is done - the survey showed a need for change. Sadly Alltycham Estate at the same time is being ignored as are my continued calls for a car park for Ysgol Gynradd Pontardawe.
This is an interesting take on priorities, and clearly nothing I have any say over.

Airport Security
I have just returned from holiday and am amazed by the type of security scrutiny we are subjected to.
All bottles of water and other substances are removed from you when you enter the departure lounge. You are then able to buy water, wine, oils, balsamic vinegars and other forms of alcohol which you ARE able to take on the plane with you. I appreciate that it is difficult for security to check that my sealed bottle of water I bring to the airport is not a bomb without possibly looking at it, opening it... have me drink from it even(!) but don't see why I can then purchase a second bottle of sealed water - indeed the same brand - and take it onto the plane.
I had exactly the same experience at Heathrow (outbound) and at Marco Polo, Venice (in-bound).
Incidentally anyone going through arrivals at Heathrow will I suspect be as horrified as I was last night - hundreds if not thousands of suit-cases strewn around the baggage collection area, clearly lost and not found. The number of children's buggies was countless. I was quite tempted to trade our slightly worn one in for a better model but morality got the better of me far too easily.
I heard a gret tip on radio last week - if you are travelling abroad then place a piece of paper on top of your luggage, within the suitcase, with your name, flight number and home address. That way if things do go astray they should be able to reunite you with your dirty laundry.
At least it makes it more difficult for BAA to auction it off at a profit!

When free swimming isn't totally free
The Welsh Assembly Government proudly announced free swimming for children during the school hols, and like everyone else I yelled "hurrah". Unfortunately it's at the discretion of individual pools, it seems. For example Pontardawe Pool offers open free access for children for most of the week - which is excellent. But not on Sunday mornings when I'm trying to teach my three year old to swim. Wait wait... I should explain that yes she's free anyway, but when my nine year old and her friend want to come too it makes it an expensive morning. "Aren't children free during school holidays?" I ask. "Yes" receptionist replies, "but not on Sundays cos we's really busy." A great headline but low on substance it seems.

Ponty Festival
Yep it's that time of the year again when the world descends on Pontardawe.
Forget Glastonbury, Forget Brecon Jazz... this is the real deal!
People from across the globe and even the County Borough (but don't let that put you off) will enjoy the sights, sounds and sometime smells of performers of all shapes and sizes. There's also a great craft market and lots of food. Oh and did I mention the bar...? Hic.
Hope to see you all there!

Reason 127 why Pontardawe is a fab place to live
Most small communities would be proud to have two of its "Indian" restaurants commended for quality and service. Indeed the Cardammon and Indian Cottage are much enjoyed and celebrated by locals and visitors alike. However our newsest "Indian" restaurant - The Baeji - has just been voted the best Indian Restaurant in South Wales by Evening Post readers.
Having visited on a number of occassions I must say that I was pleasently surprised by the quality of the food and the welcome - as I always have been at the other two popular venues.
To have three cracking Indian Restaurants is a bonus. But we also have three excellent "Chinese" takeaways and since the smoking ban was introduced a plethora of decent places to both eat and drink!
Blimey, it's no wonder I'm putting on weight...

Festival season
So, once again we're hitting Ponty Festival season, or Pontardawe International Music Festival as they do do call it in posh circles.
This year looks like being bigger and better as the community looks to being far more involved than in recent years. There's also a suggestion of good weather which would make up for last year's dire experience.
It runs from the 17th - 19th of August and is always excellent value. Can't wait to see you all seeing me seeing you there.

Labour are right!
Yep, it's got to be said, some Labour members were completely right at yesterday's County Council Planning Meeting. Cllrs Dai "Rocks" Lewis and Paul Thomas made some really good points, most of which were ignored by their group.
Paul Thomas for example argues that the proposed 4,000 home village at Llandarcy should on principle have at least 20% of affordable homes. Damned good idea. I wish I'd thought of that (though it's unlikely that I'd have got any support). Dai Lewis in the meantime talked about the necessity to challenge developments that have a detrimental effect on communities, particularly in regard to drainage, sewerage and access.
Again, bloody good sense.
It was the strangest Planning Meeting I've ever been to where Labour member turned on Labour member and I found myself speaking out in support of... um... Labour members Thomas and Lewis.
Maybe this Cardiff Bay coalition thing is going to my head. I need a lie down...

What comes around goes around
2 -1. No not a football result but the margin of victory of Plaid in Rhydyfro last night. I predicted a turnout of around 100 (pathetic!) and sadly was right.
Bob Williams was elected as town councillor for Rhydyfro which was a fantastic moment, stealing Labour's seat.
Unfortunately it came at a cost. The Labour candidate is more capable and committed than many others in her party and I have genuine affection for her and her family. It soured the victory slightly as I don't know why she doesn't have a seat.
But people are funny creatures of habit.
What many don't see is how much effort we as a group put into such elections. For something as "lowly" as a community council election we managed to get out on our campaign over the last 3 weeks 2 Assembly Members, at least two County Councillors, a former County Councillor (ok ok he was the candidate) and a Member of the European Parliament!!!
Not bad at all!
On that basis Bob deserved to win making Rhydyfro now a hotbed of Plad activism.
I still feel it's sad that the Labour candidate isn't on the Town Council where there appears to be a mini revolution taking place. Or at least potentially about to occur. As she said in her campaign leaflet - "it's a time for change!". And Plaid are providing that desired change!

Labour promise "fresh start"
Our local Labour candidate in the Rhydyfro bilection (who I am honestly very fond of) promises to bring a fresh outlook to the community. Of course it's a Labour town councillor who caused this by standing down. Hmmm.
She also promises to do things differently as she wants to fight against "the usual people always getting in as Town Councillors".
What's interesting is that she was the only Labour candidate at the last town council election who DIDN'T get it. All the usual suspects did though. Even those who can hardly walk, see, hear or read. But they are Labour of course....!?!
She also promises to hold monthly surgeries. Unfortunately there are no facilities in which they can be held. At all. Unless you use one of the two pubs.
Our Plaid candidate makes no such promises, he's fighting on issues and merit alone. I still think though Labour might win as they're good at motivating people who don't think, but vote with their feet. "Dad always voted Labour and so do I .... ".
Good old democracy.

The heat is on
Wow. Summer has finally arrived. We've had three days of almost continuous dry weather. The grass is cut, my tomoatoes are finally about to show a hint of redness and the bi-election looks like being a scorcher.
Bob Williams is standing in Rhydyfro and looks like winning a landslide election.
I can't wait to build up a sweat for tonight's campainging!

MEP steps in to up the fight,
MEP Jill Evans will be visiting Pontardawe this week to support Bob Williams in his fight for a community / town council seat. Jill is particularly concerned about the threat of further expansion of the Pwwlfawakin waste site near Rhydyfro. Currently huge wagons are bombing up and down the community and there are real concerns locally. Plaid will fight any further expansion of the plant.

Bi-election blues
Just when you thought it was safe to answer your door again - up crops another bi-election. This time in Rhydyfro.
Former councillor Bob Williams will be standing for the Town Council against Labour's Eryl Puzey, wife of John Puzey, Director of Shelter Cymru.
Eryl was the only candidate last time around from Labour who didn't win a seat on the town council so she's trying again.
Bob on the other hand didn't stand for the town council as he was certain he'd win his county seat, which he didn't.
All up for grabs and a litmus test for public apathy and disinterest in the Labour-Plaid coalition in the Assembly.
2nd of August could prove to be an interesting day!

What's going on with Labour in Trebanos
Labour's newly elected town councillor, Andrea Davies - famous for not knowing that Pontardawe had an Arts Centre and International Music Festival - has come up with some ideas, if not exactly original.
Of course she wasn't at the meeting herself to view the true horror, and joy, when you realise an elected representative have no knowledge or connection wth their area.
First up a suggestion that we should celebrate youth success with a special award. There is one.
Next, that we should motivate the local community to establish a voluntary group to clean up the local canal. Yep. There is one, in fact one of the most influencial Canal Society's in Wales is in not so far away Pontardawe. Indeed its founding father is known as Clive "Canal". Him and his wife Lyn are the backbone's of society. But in fairness to our Labour councillor in Trebanos how should she know? She's only here so that she can stand for the £12k County Council role next year.
We might have a little surprise for her...

So history at last. Ieuan WJ is now officially the Deputy First Minister. With Rhoders laid up but thankfully on the mend it means that Scotland and Wales are currently being led by Nationalist leaders.
This may never happen again!
Labour MPs are strangely quiet on the ongoing troubles and those who opposed the coalition have disappeared again back to Westminster.
But where are our Labour friends who fought their leader and hate Plaid so?
Strangely quiet too. No resignations of hyperbole now. Just silence.
The silence of course will now related to their panic situation of "please don't sack me Rhodri".
Time will tell.
Llongyfarchiadau to Ieuan who has conducted himself like a statesman in the recent long drawn out weeks. Also congrats to Nick Bourne on his last gasp hope of being in bed with Plaid.
I don't see it happening - do you?
Oh and who or what exactly are the Lib Dems in Wales now? Lembit was racing around Covent Garden on Sunday on a mini tractor with the Cheeky Girls. Good to see he's busy then. While Montgomeryshire burns Opik parties...
