To consider the report

To accept the report

Heledd Jones gave a short presentation outlining the journey of the SPG so far. It was noted that the public consultation was undertaken between October and November 2020.

During the public consultation period 10 individual observations were received (these can be seen in appendix 1 of the report). It was noted that a full copy of the SPG was included in appendix 2, which incorporated some of the amendments suggested following public consultation. 

Matters raised:

•          As a result of Covid and Brexit shops are closing rather than new ones opening. It is very important that we are flexible with small businesses moving forward. There may well be big problems as a result of Brexit in particular.

•         Happy with the SPG but want to note that there are many shops closing and this will need considering moving forward.
