There have been a few problems caused down on the Gliss by the canoe carriers being parked there. They go down to launch the canoes at the canoe landing stage, but then remain there, which causes a bit of conflict with other vehicles parking down there. Some of the signs that were put up about parking have been vandalised, and they should have been in both Welsh and English, so they will have to be replaced at some point.
One suggestion was that the Gliss could be donated to the Warren Trust, when it becomes a registered charity, so that they can charge for parking and canoe use down there without being liable for VAT.
Apparently, water sports bring £480million into Wales every year!
A new councillor is still needed - there are only ten on the council at the moment and there should be eleven. They even asked me, as I go to the main meeting most months, but I really couldn't devote the amount of time to the job that it deserves. The next elections for local councils will be in 2016, and it's to be hoped that people will come forward then to contest the elections.
Meanwhile, Fiona Howard put the Mayor's Allowance to good use by donating £50 to the Hay Ho Sunday bus service, though she didn't go down to meet the first bus this Sunday for the photo opportunity (John Evans from the Chamber of Commerce was there, amongst others, beaming from the picture in the B&R).
There was also a quick report about the Youth Club, saying how well behaved they are, and that they are no trouble as they are now using the bungalow by Hay School.
The next Council meeting will be on Monday 3rd November, at 7pm.

I see the steel structure outside the Globe has gone,was that because of planning infringement or have they just put it away for the winter? Was it discussed at the council meeting?
The steel structure at the Globe wasn't mentioned at this month's council meeting, because previously they had put the matter into the hands of the planning department, who presumably sorted it out.
