The hedge adjoining the Community Centre car park has been cut by the adjoining householder to expose the line of the footpath. The Council will maintain the remainder of the hedge which is across their land in future and tidy up the present visual impact.

Update of some of the celebrations being arranged to mark the Platinum Jubilee were discussed. Street party organisers are reminded that they need to complete an application form to close a road obtainable from the Vale Council https://www.visitthevale.com/inspiration/the-queens-platinum-jubilee-2022. The Council is looking to plant Jubilee roses and erect a toposcope as a permanent marker of the occasion.

The Welsh government’s Community and Town Councils statutory guidance implications for the Council were discussed. This directive includes measures to encourage greater public participation in local matters and will require all meetings to be streamed in future. There are also requirements to publish more material and training requirements for councillors and staff.

It has been agreed that the patio area outside The Hub should be relocated to the south side of the library building at ground level and the present path widened to accommodate chairs and tables. Investigations of cost etc are being investigated.

Maintenance of the Community Building. The Council has appointed a consultant to investigate the repair to the windows, many of which are over 100 years old. The building is in the village conservation area and hence there will be restrictions on repairs/replacements. Work will probably involve the removal of the windows, stripping and replacement of any decaying areas and reglazing where required so that hopefully they will be good for another 100 years.

Confirmation has been received that polling stations for the forthcoming elections will be the Community Centre and mobile stations located in the Beech Tree car park.

Having erected the new notice boards at the two new housing sites, the replacement of a notice board for Dyffryn needs to be considered.

The Council was informed of a serious escalation of the lost dog posters which continue appearing around the village and local countryside. Razor blades are being embedded in the sides of the notices in the hope of deterring their removal. Anybody coming across any such notices should report it to the police before a serious injury is suffered by a member of the public.

The Council are seeking a new Clerk to the Council(see page 5). The present incumbent is taking up full time employment
