Time To Dust Off Your NHS Rainbows

Time To Dust Off Your NHS Rainbows

Monday 5 July is both the 73rd anniversary of the birth of the NHS and 2021’s National day to celebrate the contribution of NHS Social Care and Frontline Workers. Solva has planned a scaled down, Covid-conscious, programme which
will be centred on the Football Club, where a commemorative Flag will be raised at 10 am. There will also be a small display of information about the NHS and a box for donations to NHS charities. The community is invited to display a rainbow and to join in the planned national two minute silence at 11 am, either at the football club or at home. Similarly you are invited to join the 8 pm clap for frontline workers, in the same manner that we did last year.
In addition there is a planned National Toast at 1 pm but under current COVID restrictions you will have to observe that part of the day at home, or in the pub!
“To those who give so much, 24 hours a day, seven days a week within the NHS, social care and on
the frontline, we salute you”.

Solva Car Park

Solva Car Park

Although there is nothing on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA) signage to alert National Trust members I can confirm that “National Trust members can park for free in the PCNPA car park in Solva – as long as a valid
membership card or sticker is displayed clearly on the front windscreen or dashboard. This is agreed with PCNPA. Please let family and friends know this.
I was recently fined £ 50 for taking my dog for a walk on the beach even though I was showing an NT sticker on the windscreen so beware!

Public Meeting / Debate – St Brides View traffic/Pengraig/Headlands development

Public Meeting / Debate – St Brides View traffic/Pengraig/Headlands development

The Community Council has arranged for a public debate to take place with regards to issues arising out of the Pengraig/Headlands development. The project achieved planning approval in 2010, however, the developers are now seeking to amend the original application to allow for larger houses. Access for construction vehicles is an issue and the developers have asked for the Community Council to approve an alternative access through the area of the upper playground. There are pros and cons as to introducing alternative access and it is important that the whole community has a chance to participate
in the debate. So please come along on 27 July to the Clubhouse at 6pm to listen to the arguments and to have your say. We pride ourselves in Solva on the strength of our sense of community so let the community have its say in deciding the way forward on this issue.
