Progress continues on the proposed Community Centre extension to incorporate the library. Final drawing required incorporating suggested amendments awaited.

It is expected that the Old Port Road beyond the Walston Castle should receive its’ first annual cut soon.

There is increased concern now the new controlled junction at Port Road/Brooklands Terrace is operating, about the amount of traffic passing through the village at peak times to avoid the delays on Port Road. Traffic surveys and review of the sequence times of the lights will be reviewed. Making the village an access only area is almost impossible to enforce. Any no entry, one-way systems etc may deter through traffic but would equally apply to village residents.

A survey of stiles which would need replacing with kissing gates to allow easy access to the Wenvoe Orchards was submitted to the council. This will be presented to the Vale.

The footpath between Twyn-yr-Odyn and The Downs is becoming impossible to use due to overgrowth and will be reported to the Vale.
