The People’s Emergency Briefing

Thank you to all those who came to the briefing today. The briefing, though stark, also focuses on the positive actions we can all take.

A big thank you to Dragons All Stars - inclusive Touch Rugby for allowing us to borrow their equipment, setting up and taking down. Also, to Henllys Village Hall for use of the hall to show the briefing.

We may consider showing the briefing again. Please get in touch if this would be of interest to you.

Good afternoon

We have been made aware that there has been an incident that has caused a significant amount of damage to the fence that surrounds the play park.

CCTV has been checked, it appears that the vehicle involved did not have the hand break engaged and has rolled from out side the one stop over the path and into the fence. The driver and vehicle then left the scene. We have reported it to the police who are investigating the circumstances.

In the mean time, can we ask that if anyone knows a reputable company to provide a quote to replace or fix the fence can they please contact the Clerk of the council on:

Thanks

Henllys Way Play Park Update

Henllys Community Council (HCC) have made an application for an Order under Section 53(2) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 modifying the Definitive Map and Statement for the Area to Torfaen County Borough Council (TCBC) to include the footpath through Henllys Way play park.

As part of this process, HCC have served notice on the owner that the application has been made.

The application included witness statements from Henllys residents, for which we are very grateful. If any other Henllys residents want to provide a witness statement we can add those to the application.

This means that HCC are asking that the footpath within the park which connects Henllys Way to Tegfan Court is recorded as a public right of way by TCBC.

We have been advised that this process will take several months to complete.

We have also been advised that during this process any comments on social media will be unhelpful.

If you have any questions or wish to make a witness statement, please contact the Clerk of HCC at:

📢 Good news!

Following further discussions with our stallholders and a new bouncy castle provider, we are delighted to announce that this year's Fete has been rescheduled for Saturday 12 September.

We'd like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding following the difficult decision to postpone the event because of the extreme weather forecast. We really appreciate the support we've received from the community and from everyone involved.

A very special thank you goes to Adrian, our Clerk, who has worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to pull everything together and make the rescheduled event possible.

We still have room for a few more stalls, so if you'd like to be part of this year's Fete, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact our Clerk at [email protected] for more information.

We hope you'll come along on Saturday 12 September and help make it a fantastic day for our community. We look forward to seeing you there!
