Planning updates

Valegate Retail Park, Culverhouse Cross. to install two rapid electric vehicle charging stations within the car park. Approved.

The budget has been discussed and approved for the forthcoming year. There will be a 3% rise in the local precept to cover forthcoming expenditure.

VE day celebrations by the community.( See  VE Celebrations ). A letter has been sent to all local organisations inviting a representative to the meeting on Friday 14th February at 7.00pm in the Village Hall. Additional advertising of the meeting within the community was agreed. Ideas are already being suggested.

A quotation for renewal of the lighting and replacement of the present glass lamp shades in the Community Centre main hall has been accepted. A replacement is to be sought for the projection screen following the failure of the attachment brackets during the month.

The state of the footpath from Vennwood Close to the tunnel was discussed. There appears to be no registered owner of the land. The Vale are to be approached about possible remedial work to remove the tripping hazards posed by the uneven paving slabs.

Library It is with disappointment and frustration that we have to report that we still do not have a starting date for building the extension. Although the Welsh Government has now approved the necessary grant, they stipulate that the money has to be claimed by the end of March 2020, which would mean that a large part of the work would have to be complete at that time. It has taken so long to reach this stage that it is no longer possible to make this deadline, so we have asked that the deadline be delayed. This may or may not be possible, but we are now waiting for a response from the government.

A defective swing, noted on the final inspection, at the Twyn-yr-Odyn new playground has been rendered inoperable while awaiting repair/replacement. The old play equipment in the Grange playing field has been removed; the replacement work is expected to be completed by the end of February.

The Council members agreed to co-opt Mrs Ceinwen Frost as the replacement member following the resignation of Mr Trevor Case.
