Dear Neighbour,
I list below the response to my letter to the Chief Executive of Swansea Council which I distributed to you recently. Many people complain about the Council being obsessed with big vanity projects in the city to the detriment of our local services.

MY QUESTION |
ANSWER |
|
Poor pavements in Glanmor Terrace and Cae Folland? Roads need repairing |
Additional safety inspections will be arranged, and Glanmor Terrace will be resurfaced next year. |
|
Blocked drains causing risk to properties? |
Additional resources have been allocated. |
|
The Labour Council allows its £2·61 billion pension fund to invest in fossil fuel companies? Climate Change is a real threat. |
The Council intends to reduce the 42% carbon emission footprint of its pension fund by 50% by 2022. The Pension Fund Committee has set a net-zero target by 2037 – ie 16 years from now! |
|
Children in Pen-clawdd deserve a better playground on the Pen-clawdd foreshore? |
Council has refurbished the Llan y Newydd playground, but the foreshore playground is maintained by the Community Council. |
Some of these answers are unsatisfactory.
My mission is to demonstrate that Council taxpayers in Pen-clawdd are being let down by the Council.
Following further discussions with local residents, I will be writing again to the Council with new questions. I’ll keep you informed.
