Burial grounds within the district are currently nearing capacity. Some time ago a third of an acre was acquired adjacent to the Llanmerewig church yard and planning permission for burials was applied for. As part of this process an archeological survey had to be undertaken, at the Council’s expense. This has apparently indicated that additional archeological work may be necessary, again at considerable expense to the Council. Some Councillors believe this work may be unnecessary and others believe any cost should be borne by the Welsh Assembly, if the excavations are deemed to be of national archeological importance. The Community Council, working closely with Cllr Wynne Jones, is seeking to limit the Community Council’s financial commitment to ensure best use is made of ratepayer’s funds.      Llandyssil Gardens CompetitionThe Community Council is supporting a gardens competition in Llandyssil in early July with the provision of prizes worth £300.  Litter picker and playground inspector A new ‘handy’ person has not been found for Llandyssil by the Community Council to empty the dog bins. If  no-one is found it may be necessary after the Community Council meeting on Wednesday 14^th July to remove the bins and for those with dogs to take their ‘litter’ home. Complaints continue to be received about dog fouling. In the meantime, please ensure that dog mess is picked up or put in the bins provided around the village and on the Dragon Field. It is hazard, particularly for kids. Thank you.  Medical issues

Following concerns raised with the Community Council members about the length of time it takes to see a doctor and the role of triage nurses at Montgomery Medical Practice, John Howard, Chief Officer of Montgomeryshire Community Health Council has said he will try to attend a future Community Council Meeting. If anyone has any questions they would like put to Mr Howard please provide them in writing to a Councillor – see above – and they will be passed on, ‘in confidence’ to the Clerk to be tabled at the meeting when it is held.

 BroadbandLlandyssil is on the end of the ‘broad band’ line from Montgomery. A number of people have said they have problems with broadband access/services. The Community Council is to consider making representations to BT to hasten the implementation of fibre optic cabling. If you would be willing to support this initiative please contact a councillor or advise the Clerk - Gwilym John Rippon      e-mail : llandyssilcommunitycouncil@yahoo.co.uk.   Water pressure

The new mains water system is now in operation; water pressure can now be expected to be higher.
