Playgrounds. The Twyn-yr-Odyn playground is now complete. Easy access for disabled persons is being investigated. Grange playing field redevelopment is progressing. The Redrow play area now has completed paths but still requires landscape work.
The VE Day celebrations public meeting was reasonably attended not withstanding the inclement weather, being St Valentine’s day etc. The project will be carried forward by interested parties. The Council has agreed to make limited funds available to cover agreed expenses.
A near accident was reported to have occurred on the steps from Tarrws Close due to the streetlight being obstructed by fencing. The matter will be pursued with the Vale. Indiscriminate parking in Old Market was reported on.

Possible future use of a small area of unattended land in Dyffryn were discussed.
