Police Matters for December 2022

POLICE MATTERS FOR DECEMBER 2022

A total of 24 incidents were recorded in the month of which several concerned thefts at the retail parks.

Our Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and he apologised if any misunderstanding had occurred over the future of the Port Rd footbridge. While stating that the bridge was unsuitable for wheelchairs, prams and horses he was able to confirm that the bridge would not be removed although discussions were taking place over the best location for a set of pedestrian operated traffic lights.

Cllr Godfrey also reported that he was exploring the possibility of attracting GP services to the community. The tennis courts would be refurbished in the spring and he was also involved in helping to rehouse some of the tenants at Cambrian Park who were being evicted.

At the meeting a presentation was made by Natural Resources Wales over their flood alleviation schemes with particular reference to the nearby Cadoxton river and stream plans.

A brief update was given over the current position over the planned scheme for a solar farm at Parc Woolton where a scoping process is currently being carried out.

An update was given following the inaugural meeting of the Wenvoe Rural Affairs Committee and this will be the subject of a separate report in What’s On

Ward Councillor’s Update

UPDATE FROM YOUR VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCILLOR

It’s been a very busy time in the Wenvoe Community since my last update.

The Village Hall celebrated the 100th Birthday, with a fantastic evening of entertainment, hosted by Wenvoe’s very own Johnny Tudor, at the Village Hall. A good night was had by all.

It has now been confirmed that the VOG will be planting a number of shrubs and plants along the edge of the Grange play area.

I am in discussions with the VOG highways department with regards to removing the foot bridge on Port Road and replacing it with a pedestrian crossing, instead of the pedestrian crossing planned for opposite the Walston Castle. I will provide updates as this progresses.

I have raised concerns about the speed limit on St Lythans Road.

I attended the Remembrance Ceremony at the Village cenotaph; what a fantastic turnout there was from our Wenvoe Community.

Finally, if you have any concerns or issues you would like to discuss with regards to our community, my contact details are:

Planning Applications for November 2022

Planning Applications for November 2022

Copper Beach Port Rd. Demolition of rear conservatory and replacement with a permanent extension together with an infill of a carport to form a bedroom and gym. No objection.

Tunnelside Yard Alps Quarry Rd. Proposed change of use from agricultural land to storage units. Opposed due to a lack of information on the grade of the land or the demand for storage facilities in the area.

Old Rectory Old Port Rd. Proposed change of use of outside area from communal space to a private garden. No comment as it was felt that this was not a planning issue but rather one for the property owners to resolve with the developers
