3. MATTERS ARISING:
The sea defence gates are now all open, Bill queried if there were any notices at West shore to inform the general public that wheeled vehicles had access.
Jason has brought this to the attention of the Council but there are no funds available at present for signs to be made or changed.
Cllr Christine and Sam to investigate the progress with signage from the Cycle Path to highlight the village and Castle. Also discussion with Ian halfpenny at Cadw.
The hedge on Maesdu Road has grown again since it was cut back last year.
Jason has alerted the council and Officers will speak with Maesdu Golf club. However due to the Wildlife and Country side Act it is an offence to disturb nesting birds from April onwards. So cutting back cannot happen until late summer.
There is also a problem with overgrowth on Station Road on the railway side. Jason’s ward.
Hedges are also overgrowing on Glan y Mor Road (past the fish and chip shop) and as this is the Marl Ward area it is Cllr. Mike Priestly‘s ward- minutes to be forwarded to him with an invitation to attend the next meeting.
Jason requested that residents also report problems using the Conwy Council web site and the “REPORT IT” facility.
The new recycling services role out is taking place this week for part of Deganwy, the rest will follow in June. Paper, tins, glass and card is collected weekly, garden waste and wheelie bins are collected alternate weeks.

Jason and Vikki had a meeting with the Biodiversity department and discussed recovering the Green from it’s Biodiversity status and reinstating it as a Village Green with goal –posts.
It has been a Biodiversity area since 2003 and was agreed by earlier Councillors, so it is unlikely to revert back but this generated some discussion.
