Next week’s full council meeting in Pembrokeshire sees a raft of questions from councillors on a wide range of issues.
The full council meeting is an opportunity for councillors to raise any issues concerning them or constituents via questions.
On Thursday (May 10) questions - 22 are listed - will range from educational psychologists, living wages, footpaths and dualing the A40.
Clr. Joshua Beynon asks: “Does Pembrokeshire County Council currently pay all its staff the real living wage of £8.75 an hour? If not, what would be the cost implications of doing so?”
Also asking about wages is Clr. Guy Woodham, who asks: “Recent reports state that Pembrokeshire County Council currently ranks as having the highest ‘pay gap’ between men and women among the Welsh councils that have released figures.
“What steps have been taken to address this issue in the 2016-20 Pembrokeshire County Council Strategic Equality Plan?”
Clr. Tim Evans wants answers about plans for introducing charging points for electrical vehicles.
His question states: “With Central Government pushing for the ban on the sale of Diesel and Petrol Cars and Vans from 2040, can you tell me what measures or planning PCC have got in place for the introduction of electric charging points for the increasing number of electric vehicles that are being bought by residents in Pembrokeshire?”
Schools are on the agenda for Clr. Jacob Williams. He asks: “Please would the leader or cabinet member give an update on the progress of the task and finish group which was set-up by council in December 2017: “to examine the issues arising out of the possible siting of the new (Haverfordwest English medium secondary) school at Sir Thomas Picton School.”
Clr. Reg Owens also wants information about the county’s schools.
“Many of our schools are performing badly.
“Could the appropriate cabinet member give details of the number of times in the past two years that schools in Pembrokeshire have implemented the Capability Procedure for school based staff which is a tool available to them?” he asks.
The meeting starts at 10 am at County Hall and is also webcast via the council’s website.
