News from Glasbury Ward by Chris Davies Powys County Councillor for Glasbury At the time of going to print we are all holding our breath at Powys CC as we await the funding settlement from the Welsh Assembly. The forecast is not good and with the directive that ‘statutory services’ like Adult Care and Education cannot be touched it appears that difficult decisions will be made in other areas. Powys has received the lowest settlement in Wales for five out of the last six years. It is a pity that we have allowed our politicians to accept this without successful challenge. Let’s see what the future brings!
Christmas gift ideas
Even in difficult economic times local community spirit always shines through as was shown recently with a number of Macmillan coffee mornings held in the area. My wife and I attended two of these events and our thanks and congratulations must go to Marian Lally and her team at Llanigon along with Jane Nicholls and her team at Painscastle not to mention everyone who supported these events. Between them nearly £2,500 was raised for this most important charity. There are some great events taking place in the
ward in November. The first hosted by Glasbury Arts is the 10th Annual Visual Arts Exhibition at Glasbury Village Hall on the weekend of 1st – 3rd November. A great local success story. The second is the Annual Fire Works display at Clyro Court on Tuesday 5th November. This is hosted and organised by the Black Mountains Lions who do so much to raise money for local good causes. The gates open at 6-15pm and the fireworks start at 7pm so bring the family along for a great evening out. The Radnorshire Committee of the Royal Welsh Show are hosting ‘Radnorshire’s Got Talent’ on Saturday 23rd November in Painscastle Village Hall. If you can sing, dance or play the spoons – you are welcome to enter. If you just wish to come along and enjoy the local talent, tickets will be available on the door. Please don’t forget that should you wish to contact me please do so on either of the following 07855 752110 or cllr.chris.davies@powys.gov.uk Best wishes, Chris
