General Update

At 1415 signatures, it now ranks at 158th out of 7816 petitions on the PM's web-site.
As the rules state that a petition with over 200 signatures will receive an official response from Whitehall, I am most pleased that this petition will at least receive some attention by the group that runs the on-line petitions web-site.
Still, progress locally seems to be continuing and Thursday 12th July seems to be the next date on the calendar, when Cllr Ken Rowland's petition comes to the Full Council at Pembrokeshire County Council.
As the ongoing saga at the Welsh Assembly continues as to who will form the Government for the next 4 years, I hope as much time and effort will be given to looking at how the Assembly can take over the responsibility of the Cleddau Bridge and abolishing the tolls.
If Labour and Plaid (or Plaid, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats) can spend hour after hour after hour and day after day after day on this matter .... then sorting out the bridge's future should be rather piffling in comparison. Or am I being simplistic (or hopeful).
I hope that the Full Council agrees to take the matter to the Welsh Assembly and ensure top level negotiations commence.
The matter cannot be discarded like a fag end!
Over to Pembrokeshire County Council, chaps (and chapettes!).
