Minutes:

Members were updated on the progress of the works being carried out at Margam Crematorium, including the extension. It was estimated the project would be completed by the first week of March 2020.

 

The planned upgrade to the heating and cooling system within the Chapel was discussed, and members felt that the current system was working well without the need for further works at present. The need for a new system would be reviewed again after the summer months.
