It’s the month when Spring starts to show and our plants
start to grow. Let’s hope the sun starts shining and we all start thawing out a
little first. It’s been a long winter.
Our first event of the year will take place on 1st
March, a St Davids Day Fayre. We have over 60 stalls coming along, so if you
are around, please come and say hello. There will be something for all the
family with indoor and outdoor spaces so whatever the weather you can still
enjoy the experience.
Plans are still ongoing for our VE80 commemorations and our
Big Birthday Bash taking place this summer. We will be putting further details
out soon but if you want to save dates its 5th May and 14th
June. We will have assault courses, music, stalls and foods.
If you are interested
in being involved with either or both events, please get in touch at community@pontyclun-cc.gov.wales
The closure of our local Lloyds bank will be concerning for
lots of you. We have spoken to Lloyds who have assured us they will be
providing a banking hub here instead. We haven’t had the full details yet,
typically they run them weekly in a central location. We have offered to assist
with finding them space and will again keep you updated as we go through this
process.
I am sure that most of you are aware RCT Learning Curve have
decided to change their project and as a result will be closing their provision
at Café 50 towards the end of March. The Town Council will be taking over the
running and groups will continue to meet as they do now. We have been in
discussions with several interested parties in taking over the catering and we
are hoping there will be no break in service for our users. We do not want to
lose this provision and are doing our utmost to ensure it stays the warm,
vibrant and welcoming hub it is.
Many of you will have seen the notices regarding installing double
yellow lines in Pontyclun, in particular in streets around the new primary
school. Many residents and businesses have expressed concerns about the loss of
parking and issues it will cause older and disabled visitors, residents who
will no longer be able to park near their houses and businesses who will lose
customers. We have strongly disagreed with the scheme as proposed.
If you have any comments regarding the proposals or
questions then contact RCT’s traffic team at trafficservices@rctcbc.gov.uk
