WARD COUNCILLOR RUSSELL GODFREY COLUMN<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, I hope you all had an enjoyable summer. As I am sure most of you are now aware, the Afghan families have vacated the Copthorne Hotel. Cardiff Council have an agreement to have sole use of all bedrooms at the hotel until at least the end of March 2024. The hotel is to be used to accommodate families on the Cardiff Council Housing List. Further to a recent meeting I had with a member of the Cardiff Council Housing Support Team, on my request, further information is provided and included here.<\/p>\n I would like to congratulate all involved in organising the Wenvoe Village Show, which was a great success. Also, the Boundary Commission have put a proposal forward, to remove Twyn Yr Odyn, St Lythans and Duffryn from the Wenvoe Ward and to include them in the St Nicholas Ward. I can confirm this proposal is opposed by the majority of people living in these areas, as well as Wenvoe Community Council and myself as Ward Councillor. I am pleased to confirm that the refurbished tennis courts are now up and running. The cost is \u00a32.25 per 30 mins or annual family membership is only \u00a339.00. To book them and get a code for entry, you need to use the following web address: lta.org.uk Work on the installation of the outdoor exercise equipment at Station Road Playing Fields has started. This should be completed by early October. 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. Email: regodfrey@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk<\/p>\n Date: 8th September 2023<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Dear Resident,<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I am writing to inform you of a temporary of use of the Copthorne hotel located in the Vale of Glamorgan by Cardiff City Housing Dept. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the current situation. The clients that will be placed here will be families who are already Cardiff residents and already access services across the city such as health and education. To ensure there is adequate help and support the Councils Family Accommodation Team will be on site 24\/7, alongside the existing Copthorne staffing teams. We will also be having visiting teams from Housing Options, Family Early Help, Health, and Money Advice. Therefore we don\u2019t see this having any significant impact on local residents. We see this option as a short-term solution and will be working to move them into more appropriate accommodation as quickly as possible based on their individual circumstances and areas of choice. I have attached a Frequently Asked Questions Document with this letter for you to peruse. Anything not covered by this document can be responded to individually by emailing the team directly specialisthousing@cardiff.gov.uk<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Kind regards Rebecca Callaghan, <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Supported Accommodation Manager \u2013 Families. <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Cardiff Council<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n WARD COUNCILLOR RUSSELL GODFREY COLUMN Firstly, I hope you all had an enjoyable summer.
