Agenda

This council calls upon the Prime Minister to continue the work of the former Conservative govt and to appoint a dedicated Veterans Minister within the government to address the unique needs and challenges faced by our veterans.

Congratulates Cllr Fookes on her election as the Member of Parliament for Monmouthshire and notes her promise to be ‘a full-time MP’.

Notes that the Welsh Labour Government has legislated to prevent parliamentarians from double jobbing as county councillors.

Notes the significant disruption and challenges in Town ward including town centre footfall, roadworks and parking, which require a strong voice on this Council for residents and traders.

Calls on Cllr Fookes to resign from MCC so residents in Town ward can elect a new county councillor.

What changes has the Council made to the documents for the re-tender of the dairy contract and can the Leader confirm that smaller businesses will be able to compete on a level playing field?

Please can the Cabinet Member explain the reduced opening hours at Usk Post Office? 

Could the cabinet member provide an update on the work taking place at St Thomas’ roundabout in Monmouth?

Please can the cabinet member provide clarification on the recent proposal to establish a third site within the small hamlet, while I appreciate the importance of providing adequate accommodation for the Gypsy and Traveller community, I am concerned about the concentration of multiple sites in one small area. Specifically, I would like to understand the rationale behind this decision and why a more distributed approach across the entire county, has not been considered?
