Please see below the contents of an email from Flintshire County Council with regard to the above:-

You will hopefully be aware that the First Minister announced a partial relaxation of the Covid-19 restrictions today which will allow non-essential retail to reopen with appropriate social distancing measures in place.

The Council has assessed, as far as possible, what it can do to support this reopening through physical measures and wider support to business and promotion.

We have no way of knowing how things will be in the town from next week; it will very much depend on how many shops reopen and how many people choose to come to town. This will change over time. The Council will be visiting every town on a frequent basis over the first few days to monitor the reopening and will take additional action as required to keep people safe. In addition, we will be holding liaison meetings in each town to get the feedback of local stakeholders on what other actions we should take.

There are a number of actions that will be introduced in your town from next week:

• The main shopping area in each town will have a temporary 20mph speed limit put in place to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the road to achieve social distancing.
• Signage will be erected in each town to remind people of the need to observe social distancing, with extra signs where pavements are narrow.
• Where shop queues are making pedestrian flows difficult we will work with their operators to try to manage this and keep people safe.
• If, once reopening has taken place, we find that pavements in some locations are too narrow to support social distancing we may introduce one way flows or use parking bays as pavement to create additional width. We will monitor this and will only introduce if absolutely necessary.
• Welcome signs will be put up in each town.
• We are also in contact with the operators of the Precinct and have offered support if required.

If you have any concerns over the measures put in place please contact your Streetscene area supervisor in the first instance. For the general public, the Council contact centre customerservices@flintshire.gov.uk or 01352 752121 is available to raise concerns. If you  would like to raise issues more generally about the town and supporting reopening them please use the Regeneration@flintshire.gov.uk email address.

Please may I also ask that if your members, business contacts or members of the  public raise concerns or have ideas then we would be very pleased to hear them through the communication channels above.

Annwyl Syr/Madam,

Mae Comisiwn Ffiniau a Democratiaeth Leol Cymru wedi cwblhau cam olaf ei arolwg o’r trefniadau etholiadol ar gyfer Sir Y Fflint. 

Mae’r Comisiwn bellach yn cyhoeddi ei Argymhellion Terfynol. O dan Adran 37 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol (Democratiaeth) (Cymru) 2013, ar ôl derbyn yr adroddiad, gall Llywodraeth Cymru, os gwêl fod hynny’n briodol, wneud gorchymyn i weithredu unrhyw argymhellion a wneir iddo gan y Comisiwn naill ai fel y’u cyflwynwyd neu gydag addasiadau.  Ni chaiff unrhyw orchymyn i weithredu argymhellion o’r fath gael ei wneud nes bod chwe wythnos i’r dyddiad y cyflwynwyd y argymhellion i Llywodraeth Cymru wedi mynd heibio.

Please see above an article published in The Leader newspaper today which highlights that Jack Sargeant AM is leading a campaign for a Community Bank in Buckley.
