Welcome to Manordeilo and Salem Community Council

Covid 19

Manordeilo and Salem Community Council is an elected body that serves and represents the interests of residents across the two Wards of Cwmifor and Salem. These Wards also include the communities of Capel Isaac, Manordeilo, Penybanc, Rhosmaen and Taliaris. Membership of the Community Council is made up of 12 councillors, seven councillors representing the Cwmifor Ward and five representing the Salem Ward.

Meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday of every month (there is no meeting in August) at 7:30pm in the Manordeilo Reading Room. During the Covid-19 pandemic, meetings are being held remotely via Zoom and this arrangement will continue until further notice. Members of the community can still access these meetings however and login details are provided on the agendas posted on our website and notice boards in the community.

The Community Council is mainly funded through a Precept. A Precept is a charge that is included within the Council Tax collected by Carmarthenshire County Council and redistributed to community and town councils. We are also able to apply for grants for special projects.

What we do

The Council represents the people living in our area at the closest level to the community. We represent the views of our communities and actively engage in matters such as:

Community facilities and projects

For example: benches, defibrillators, notice boards and financial contributions to local causes and charities.

Environment

For example: biodiversity and footpath conditions.

Highways

For example: road conditions and signs, street lighting and traffic issues.

Planning applications

The Community Council has a statutory right to be consulted on all planning applications in our communities and makes observations to the planning authority that are taken into account in the decision-making process.

We also work with Carmarthenshire County Council, other community and town councils and authorities such as the Welsh Government and Dyfed-Powys Police to provide local services. We are a member of One Voice Wales, the umbrella organisation for town and community councils across Wales.

Covid-19 Message

The Community Council will not be holding face-to-face meetings until social distancing measures have been sufficiently relaxed due to the ongoing risks posed by Covid-19. We will inform the community as soon as we are able to resume our normal meeting schedule.

In the meantime, we will continue to conduct Community Council business remotely, and we aim to be a point of contact for anyone within our community who needs further information and support during this difficult time.
