Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Councillor David Simpson,
has provided a further coronavirus update for Monday, 15th June, as
follows:
‘I hope you all had a nice weekend and managed to spend time with
your family.
‘As we start a new week, we have the opportunity to look forward and
consider how things will pan out. I am aware that Welsh Government
will be issuing further updates this week in relation to potential
changes to the current restrictions.
‘However, as in any amendment made to Covid-19 regulations by
Welsh Government, the Authority will need to consider the detail and
how we implement changes – especially changes to service delivery
‘Any adjustments to services need to be considered in a measured
and planned way. A good example is the recent re-opening of our
Waste and Recycling Centres (WRCs) which was well planned in
advance and resulted in a smooth resumption of the service.
‘I am very pleased that we are receiving compliments relating to the
way the WRCs are operating and, more importantly, the positive
feedback being received in relation to the staff operating these sites.
‘I do want to highlight the hard work that is currently being done by
the education team to get ready for the reconvening of the school
term.
‘This is a huge service area to re-open and I will be giving further
updates as and when matters progress. Our website now has a page
for the public to keep up to date on school changes and there are also
links on this page to the website of each school:

guidance/children-and-schools-transition-to-the-new-normal
‘I’m going to conclude today by highlighting that we all need to
continue working together. I do appreciate that this extended
lockdown is frustrating at times but we are on this journey for the
long-term benefit to all.
‘My next message will be on Wednesday.
