Call for more support for rural areas of Pembrokeshire
Cllr Harries' motion said: 'It is increasingly evident that while significant effort and investment has been directed toward revitalising our towns, many of our rural areas are being left behind.
'These communities are the backbone of our agricultural economy, custodians of our landscape, and home to vital heritage and culture and the Welsh language. It is time we restore balance and give our rural communities the attention, voice, and opportunities they deserve.
'To ensure that no part of our county is forgotten, I propose that we establish a dedicated cross-chamber working party focused on reigniting our rural areas — supporting rural enterprise, connectivity, housing, access to essential services and how we can help young people to live and work locally.'
Members agreed the notice be sent to the council's services overview and scrutiny committee for discussion, the call potentially returning to a future meeting.

Pembrokeshire schools choice costs report expected in autumn
A question submitted to the July meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council by independent group leader Cllr Huw Murphy asked: 'Cabinet on April 28 passed a recommendation requesting additional information be collected from parents electing Welsh medium education for their children following a debate on Welsh Education Strategic Plan (WESP). 'This Cabinet decision was subject of a successful call-in by the Schools O&S Committee on May 14. During the Schools O&S meeting the additional cost to PCC of collecting the information requested by Cabinet was raised, at which time Mr Huw Jones informed Scrutiny that the Schools Admission Team was only one person and to collect the additional information would necessitate the team being increased by at least one person. 'Cabinet on May 21, following the successful call-in, amended their Cabinet decision of April 28 to now request additional information be collected from parents of children electing both Welsh and also English medium education. 'Can the Cabinet Lead for Education please inform elected members what the financial implications (cost) will be for PCC in collecting this additional information from parents electing both a Welsh and English medium education for their Children, to include pension and NIC contributions if additional staff will be required to comply with decision of Cabinet on April 28 and then May 21?' Responding, Cabinet Member for Education and Welsh Language Cllr Guy Woodham said Cabinet was yet to receive a direct proposal and was difficult, as yet, to quantify any costs to the council. 'The Director of Education has given an assurance that the Cabinet request will be fully explored,' said Cllr Woodham, adding a report was expected in the autumn, which he expected would cover any financial implications.

NAHT Cymru school leaders' union considers industrial action
NAHT Cymru is consulting members after the Welsh Government rejected an independent pay recommendation and opted for a 4 per cent pay rise instead of the 4.8 per cent suggested by the Independent Welsh Pay Review Body. The union is campaigning for pay to be incrementally restored to 2010 levels after years of below-inflation increases. Laura Doel, national secretary of NAHT Cymru, said: "To not even consult on the Independent Welsh Pay Review Body recommendation of 4.8 per cent demonstrated that the review body process is flawed and that what an independent body recommends to pay teachers and leaders pales into insignificance when it might cost money. "To say we are bitterly disappointed by this announcement is an understatement and we are consulting members on all next steps open to us as a union, including industrial action."

Proposed BSL Act in Wales risks increasing isolation
Despite claims that this legislation is necessary to support deaf Welsh sign language users, the evidence suggests otherwise. Only 1 per cent of deaf BSL users in the UK are qualified in BSL (BDA-based statistics), highlighting a significant gap between those who could benefit from support and those who can access it. Additionally, there are approximately 300,000 people with hearing loss in Wales (RNID Cymru statistics), many of whom may receive no benefit or inclusion from this Act. The legislation's restrictions limit support solely to individuals who sign or are willing to learn BSL. This approach risks discriminating against deaf individuals who may use, or prefer alternative communication methods, thereby excluding most from essential services. Not every child can acquire sign language. The consultation was buried on the Senedd website, making it virtually impossible for the public to respond meaningfully. The proposed support model relies heavily on tiered approaches supported by single, charity-driven initiatives—essentially, it's a carbon copy of the Act proposed in other UK regions. The Act overlooks all aspects of Welsh language, needs, and opposes English grammar. Mr. Isherwood provided no relevant statistical data specific to Wales to demonstrate the Act's potential effectiveness. The Act appears to be aimed solely at bolstering charitable organisations' funding and employment, rather than genuinely improving support for deaf people. Wales has no deaf school, no BSL curriculum, and teachers are not being trained due to disagreement between BSL purists and educational mainstream inclusion approaches. Mr. Isherwood's proposal offers little benefit to deaf children as it stands, until some agreement shows itself. Currently, it's impossible to fill a class with deaf children to make deaf schools viable. He failed to do his homework; his input seems influenced by vested charitable interests, which themselves are not inclusive. Welsh support in health and social care is above the UK average for BSL users. The culture minister in the Senedd has already described the BSL Act as an unnecessary distraction from deaf inclusion. Support for the majority of those with hearing loss is urgently needed. Six out of seven health boards and two out of three trusts fail to provide adequate alternatives to BSL support. Patients are offered support that they cannot use. The legislation appears driven by a desire to integrate deafness into mainstream settings but faces strong opposition from cultural deaf activists who argue it undermines deaf identity, language, and independence. Rather than promoting inclusion, the Act risks fostering isolation—a factor that historically contributed to the closure of deaf schools and instances of abuse within such settings. The campaign for a Welsh BSL Act is not truly Welsh-led; it largely contains proposals from Scotland and England, driven by the British Deaf Association, with minimal grassroots Welsh support and limited consultation with local deaf communities. Mr. Isherwood relies on English and Scottish data to justify enacting a Welsh BSL Act. This one-size-fits-all approach is inappropriate. Enacting legislation in Wales without considering Welsh-specific needs would be ineffective, potentially discriminatory, and could increase isolation. The focus should instead be on developing inclusive, evidence-based support systems that respect the diversity within the deaf community—rather than legislation driven by external organisations with limited local backing. Yours sincerely, Mervyn James, Newport
