Annual Report, 2024-5
Presented to council 12 June 2025
Since the 2024 AGM there have been ten meetings, with good attendance from the councillors. The Chair during the 2024-5 period was Cllr Mark Davies and Cllr Heulwen Hulme was Vice-Chair. New councillor John Yeomans was co-opted in September 2024.
Mary Oldham continued as internal auditor and has recently completed the 2024-5 audit. Morgan Griffiths of Newtown has continued as payroll administrator and Jeff Pughe took over from Gwynne Woosnam as groundsman. As far as ground issues are concerned, dog mess and potholes have been of continued concern and addressed as far as possible. One of the footpaths has been obstructed and this is now in the hands of the county council’s footpath officer. The village was looking unkempt in the summer but thanks to the councillors’ intervention, old signs and displays were removed. Work has been done by the councillors on replacing the playing field sign and making provision for a display board inside the brick bus stop.
The reserve bank account has been continually monitored and funds transferred to it from the current account, earmarked for playground improvements. The bearings on the roundabout are performing poorly and this is an item that will be replaced in due course when funding allows as it has never functioned very well. The door of the Gerizim telephone box, which belongs to the community council, has been repaired to a very good standard by local resident Mr John Morley.
The councillors have taken over responsibility for organising the annual Remembrance Day event at the church, and Suzanne Edwards has been key in coordinating this. The councillors’ first event will be in November this year.
