Projects

07/05/2011

In recent years the Council has directly funded the following-

Street lamp mounted Christmas Illuminations throughout the community.

An ongoing programme of erecting Notice boards. If a local group or organisation would like to publicise forthcoming events please contact the Clerk or other key holders ie, Cllrs. C Faulkner (Cefn Glas Post Office), T Green (Laleston and Broadlands) or B McLeer (Barnes Avenue/Bryngolau).

The Community Council continues to fund the Summer Play Scheme held in the community which is organised by Bridgend County Borough Council.

Children’s’ Play Areas- The Council has jointly funded the refurbishment of the Wordsworth Avenue, Chelsea Avenue, Bryntirion and Laleston play areas. It has funded also two large projects at Bryntirion and Laleston;

At Bryntirion, following consultation with representatives of the yout facility, the Council funded the supply and erection of a REKK Youth Shelter together with three items of teenager play equipment.

At Laleston, again following a representation from young persons of the village in 1999, it has funded the supply and erection of a Multi Use Games Area [MUGA] to accommodate tennis, basketball, netball and five aside soccer. This facility is shared with Trelales Primary School whose pupils have sole use during school term time / hours. The general public has use during evenings, weekends and all school holidays.

The Council is conscious of the demand for a skateboard park and was prepared to provide such facilities at Bryntirion or Broadlands but, after consultation, neither site proved to be accepteable to local residents. Currently, the Council has agreed to enter a partnership arrangement with Bridgend County Borough Council and Bridgend Town Council to provide a regional style facility at Newbridge Field. Plans are near completion and Laleston CC has already set aside £30,000 towards this provision.

Laleston CC has developed links with the Police via the PACT meetings and the Broadlands Residents Associaion via the BRA meetings. Individual Councillors attend both on a regular basis.
