\u00a0UPDATE FROM YOUR VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCILOR <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

RUSSELL GODFREY<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s been a busy time since my last update<\/p>\n

Below are brief overviews of some of the issues I have been dealing with. If you require more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Litter in the Wenvoe Ward \u2013 At my request I recently had a meeting with senior members of the Street Cleaning Team. The outcome of this was:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    a <\/strong>The Council has offered to provide pickers and bags for companies on the local retail parks, for their staff to litter pick in the area. These bags will then be collected by the VOG street cleaning team.<\/p>\n

    b <\/strong>As part of a local trial, a sign will be put on the waste bin outside the Village Shop, confirming it is an offence for anyone to deposit filled carrier bags in the bin. If caught they will be fined.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I have also organised another successful litter pick in the community.<\/li>\n
    2. Walston Road has now been resurfaced.<\/li>\n
    3. It has now been confirmed that the tennis courts at Station Road are to be upgraded by Tennis Wales, which will include new playing surfaces, a lockable gate being added which will allow you to book online to use the courts for a small fee. You will then be given a code to access the courts. (All monies raised will be reinvested in local tennis by Tennis Wales).<\/li>\n
    4. It is also planned to erect exercise equipment at the Station Road Playing Fields.<\/li>\n
    5. It is also planned to plant a range of shrubs and flowers along the bank of the Grange.<\/li>\n
    6. I was also recently invited to a tour of Dyffryn Gardens, which was a really amazing experience. The amount of ongoing work being done to the house and gardens, to return Dyffryn to its original state, is incredible. If you have not visited for a while, you will be amazed at how much of the gardens have already been restored, including an amazing natural play area for all. I would strongly recommend a visit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      I am sure you will agree many positive developments for the Wenvoe Community.<\/p>\n

      If you have any issues\/suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me or pop along to one of my monthly surgeries. Tel:07927 588924 or email<\/p>\n
