Tree Planting at Pear Tree Hill

Chairman Wayne Clark and Clerk Claire Minter met with County Councillor Catherine Baart who has been supportive of having trees planted in the parish. We were delighted to meet new SCC staff member, Robbie Stewart, who has been recruited in a new role as Highways Environmental Officer. One of his main roles is to ensure that he supports the SCC initiative for tree planting by identifying areas on the Highway verges which would be suitable for planting and managing the process. The Parish Council have requested for a few years to plan trees on Pear tree Hill and are appreciative to see four new trees (2 x Genkos and 2 x Silver Birch).

The Parish Council now intend to plant daffodil and crocus bulbs on this area of verge to help brighten it up

Civility and Respect Pledge

9 March 2026

The Society of Local Clerks ( SLCC), National Association of Local Councils (NALC), and One Voice Wales (OVW) believe now is the time to put civility and respect at the top of the agenda and start a culture change for the local council sector. Councillors have signed the Pledge, agreeing that it will treat councillors, clerks, employees, members of the public, and representatives of partner organisations and volunteers with civility and respect in their roles, and that it has put in place a training programme for councillors and staff: We: have signed up to the Code of Conduct for councillors - We have have good governance arrangements in place including staff contracts and a Dignity at Work policy - we have will seek professional help at early stages should civility and respect issues arise - we would will commit to calling out bullying and harassment if and when it happens - we would will continue to learn from best practice in the sector and aspire to being a role model / champion council e.g., via Local Council Award Scheme - we have and are used as a role model support the continued lobbying for change in legislation to support the civility and respect, including sanctions for elected members where appropriate
