(10) Defibrillators:
Tony had been trying to find out who was responsible for the Queens Court, Cefn Road and Arches defibs. The Welsh Ambulance Service have been involved in the past along with Monty. WAS no longer wanting to be responsible although will still help. Agreed that the guardianship of the 3 defibs will be ours. Merfyn will look after Cefn Road and the Arches and Tony will look after the Queens Court. It was suggested that we make sure these are registered on The Circuit website.
(11) Old Colwyn Community Centre:
The Treasurer reported on the situation regarding the Old Colwyn Community Centre. At present the Centre is run by a committee who look after bookings and the internal décor. The County Council own the building and are responsible for its maintenance and upkeep. The County Council are insisting the committee to take over full responsibility for the whole building which is a major step for them. There is therefore the possibility that the Centre will close.

A question was asked as to whether the fountain in Wynn Gardens will be repaired. Cllr David Carr is looking into getting this done.
