Update From Your Vale Of Glamorgan Councillor
UPDATE FROM YOUR VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCILLOR
Firstly, I would like to congratulate Wenvoe Resident Doctor Keshav Singhal on being awarded the CBE in the New Year’s Honours List. To date, further to feedback from residents already received, I can confirm that I have written to the Officers responsible with regards to the following issues:
- Road Surface at the Junction of Brooklands Terrace and Port Road
- I am pleased to be able to confirm the application by Aldi to increase their delivery to store hours has been refused.
- I have had a site meeting with regards to the boundary fence along Heol Collen. As a result repairs to the fence and cutting back of the trees will be carried out between April and May
If you have any concerns or issues you would like to discuss with regards to our community, my contact details are: Email: regodfrey@ valeofglamorgan.gov.uk Tel: 07927 588924
My next surgery at Wenvoe Community Centre will be on Saturday 18th March between 10:30 and 11:30, refreshments provided

The financial position of the Council was discussed and budgets were agreed for the new financial year. This includes major spending on the Community Centre including new windows and doors and redecoration together with a new patio for The Hub. Some changes in charges for use of the Community Centre, allotments and the cemetery were agreed. Following a vote it was also agreed that the Wenvoe precept will be increased by 3% for the new financial year.
Great Glamorgan Way Route
This involves a series of joined up footpaths and bridle ways across parts of South Wales with improvements to surfaces where required. This is evolving and as far as Wenvoe is concerned involves pathways from The Downs to Whitehall Farm across to Alps Quarry and Leckwith Woods.
Wenvoe Festival
In view of the amount of work involved in organising this together with the need to arrange sponsorship and satisfy various regulations it has been decided to postpone the event until July 2024.
