A formal complaint by the Council will be made to the Vale concerning the conducting of the recent polling at the Community Centre. Long queues were reported with numerous people having to wait in excess of 20 minutes to cast their vote.

A 5m x 10m area to the rear of the new library building will be used to construct a patio area for persons to sit and enjoy a coffee while using the building.

At a recent site meeting it was decided that there was inadequate room on the school field to site a proposed MUGA. Station Road playing field was also not considered to be a viable option. The Vale will examine other possibilities for older children and teenagers in the community.

The tarmac footpath from Old Port Road to the Grange Park play area will soon be extended to Tarrws Close by the Vale.

A defibrillator for the Brooklands Terrace area will be mounted on the wall of the property on the corner of Brooklands Terrace and Heol Collen; no. 18.
