Village Hall Volunteers

A PLEA FROM THE VILLAGE HALL VOLUNTEERS

Over a period of a couple of weeks in lockdown, youngsters playing football in the carpark of the village hall caused damage to the central heating overflow pipe, guttering and two outside lights Unfortunately the broken glass, found when the playgroup arrived, had to be swept up before the children could be allowed in.

The hall was painted last summer to create a warm welcome to groups returning to use the facilities. The walls have now had to be washed because of footballs being kicked up against them. Our cleaner generously did this, without being asked.

The Covid situation means we have been unable too pen so there is no money coming in except from playgroup. The cost of the repairs and the possibility of having to install CCTV is a concern to us.

There is a sign in the carpark saying ‘No football’. The boys have been asked on a number of occasions not to play in the car park but have just ignored us. The police have been informed of the damage caused and are looking into it.

The hall is there for all in the village to enjoy and residents are very supportive of this facility. So we are asking the parents of these youngsters to help us by informing them to please not play football in the village hall carpark. Thank you.

Suggestions for Spending £75000

S106 FUND SUGGESTIONS

September 2020

In the September issue of What’s On, we asked for suggestions for making use of about £75,000 of Section 106 funding for a project that would be of significant benefit to the Wenvoe community. This would be capital spending, not for any kind of maintenance or refurbishment.

This is a summary of the excellent suggestions we had, most of which could be carried out within the specified budget. We would now like to ask if there are any more suggestions, or if anyone would like to comment further on the ones below.

  • small donation to school (not capital)
  • adult outdoor fitness equipment (like Dinas Powys)
  • local walks/cycling booklet(s), with benches along the routes
  • all-weather surface for older children, covered seating area
  • similar to above
  • ditto, with basketball hoops and outdoor gym
  • mini-gym for older children
  • information notice boards
  • revamp playground at Parc y Gwenfo
  • more benches at Community orchards
  • multi-use games area

 

As before, write to What’s On, but don’t delay, since the funding is available on a limited time basis. We look forward to hearing from you

 

 

VE Day 75 Celebrations

VE DAY 75 CELEBRATIONS

 

 

 

CALLING ALL VE75 CELEBRATION PHOTOGRAPHS

I am in the process of compiling an album of photographs taken during the VE75 day celebrations around the village. I already have upwards of one hundred but would love any more that could be sent to me to add to them. I think this will prove to be a really lovely addition to Wenvoe history archives and is particularly important as a visual record of a joyful day in trying and unusual times. If you have any photographs that you would like to include please copy them into an email to me at pukkatucker@gmail.com

 

Thank you,

Glenys Tucker

 

 

Be A Responsible Dog Owner

 

BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER

There has been a number of incidents of dog waste not being picked up and dog waste bags being left on the pavements, on walls, hung on bushes, trees etc. Dog waste bags can be placed in any one of the many waste bins around the village; they are not restricted to one of the special dog waste bins. If no bin is available take the bag home and dispose of it in your own bin.

Dog owners are reminded to keep their dogs on leads and off residents property when walking through the village. Concerns have been raised regarding dogs running across residents gardens and even fouling on house lawns. If you see any dog fouling please help by reporting it at; https:// forms.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/en/DogFouling

Wenvoe Community Council recognise the area most affected following resident complaints and are in the process of purchasing a dog waste bin which will be emptied by WCC and not the VoG. This will be on a trial basis and if abused the Dog Waste bin may be removed.

Vale of Glamorgan waste bins are emptied once a week. If any are full you are requested to take the waste to another bin or take it home. Do not leave any additional bags alongside waste bins. Note – The large green bins located in the cemetery are for cemetery waste only and nothing else. These bins have a special emptying contract.
