A.O.B.
HW; Joe
England is forwarding a proposal for the new building on Penderyn Square to be a learning venue
linking with Central Library.
CS; Feels
that a mosaic integrating the new building with the exterior, surrounding
buildings and public art would be a good proposal for the architects and
artists to consider (suggested the work of Maria Parry Jones, Steve Samuel
and Gareth Cavanagh, who has done interactive computer/film projects to
engage children and young people).
The group
also need confirmation that the Dic Penderyn Society will be happy as grant
recipients for any participation project funding. GP has informally spoken to
Viv Pugh who was happy with this suggestion but needed to consult the
steering group to make any final decision.
New MTCBC
Heritage Portfolio Member is Cllr. Graham Davies.
Actions: GP to contact and add the new Heritage
and Arts Portfolio members to the contact list.
CS to forward Gareth Cavanagh contact details to
GP.
There were
also comments made about encouraging take-away shops on Pontmorlais to become
“pavement cafes” and untidy looking lampposts in Castle Car Park. These
issues are beyond the remit of this group but GP will pass on the comments to
appropriate colleagues.
