Capital Projects.

Community Centre library building. A revised profile of possible grant spend has been submitted to the Welsh Assembly.

Construction of the new play area at Twyn yr Odyn is in progress.

A new disabled access to the Grange Park is under construction. It is a free standing ramp to avoid damage to tree roots.

The new play area at the Redrow site is nearing completion.

Discussion between the Vale, Cemex and the Council are in progress to the future of Whitehall Quarry and adjacent land. It is hoped there could be a cemetery extension and possible recreation use.

The cricket club using the Station Road playing field erected plastic netting adjacent to the stream last summer. The supports have been removed and the

netting left which is now becoming entangled in the undergrowth. The club will be requested to remove it.

Report received on the new recycling scheme. In general, the independent monitoring body is fairly satisfied. There are minor problems reported. Large boxes are not always being collected; these should be flattened before placing with recycling. Only Vale bags and containers are being emptied; additional bags are available if you regularly have excess material. The collection of green waste at outlying locations has been causing concerns.

With a very wet autumn pot holes are expected to become a problem this winter . Potholes should be reported to Vale web site or Council
