We are delighted to hear that the Glamorgan Voluntary Service has presented organisations and individuals in Wenvoe with ‘Outstanding Volunteering Achievement Awards’ in recognition of their contribution during the COVID19 crisis.

The certificate pictured, is awarded to Wenvoe Community Council. Many more certificates will be presented to organisations and individuals shortly.

Mark Stillman, who is the Marketing and Membership Officer for GVS said: ‘Volunteers Week is celebrated in June every year and the work you have undertaken is highly commendable’.

No Meeting In May

The Community Council has again not met in May because of lockdown rules. It was agreed by all councillors that the existing membership and councillor roles would continue until such time as council can meet in a conventional manner. However, there has to be a meeting soon, possibly by electronic means, to approve the accounts for 2019/2020.

The lighting in the main hall at the Community Centre has been refurbished and a new projection screen installed.

A project to replace the existing library building has been started. It appears that, even without the Welsh Government grant that was rejected, there may be sufficient funding to construct a new building, without it being attached to the community centre.

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.

 

 

Library Grant Application rejected

Library Grant Application rejected

The Welsh Government has informed the Community Council that the grant application for a new library building made more than 3 years ago, has finally been rejected. This is a huge disappointment . However, the Community Council will now start to explore alternative options for replacing the library building.
