Carmarthenshire says 'thanks' to April volunteers
Carmarthenshire County Council is to write a letter to Dyfed Powys Police and volunteers who joined the search for missing five-year-old April Jones to thank them for their efforts.
Council Chair Cllr Siân Thomas made the suggestion at full council meeting and was unanimously backed by members.
She said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Dyfed Powys Police who have been under huge pressure. They’ve been working very hard in strained and difficult circumstances, and I’d like to write to a letter on our behalf thanking them for their efforts.”
Deputy Leader Cllr Pam Palmer suggested that the council also write to the Mayor of Machynlleth to express the council’s admiration of the town’s community spirit, as well as the work of police officers.
“The work they have done over the last 10 days, first with hope and then despair – has raised the profile of Wales and Dyfed Powys Police beyond recognition,” she said.
“They’ve performed absolutely wonderfully. Police go through training hoping that nothing like this happens, but all this training has been worthwhile.
“We should also write to the Mayor of Machynlleth to say how much we admire the community spirit through all the trauma they’ve been through.”
