Legal Advice

Quite a lot has happened over the last few months! Here are some highlights:

• The hedges in Marford play area have ﬁnally been cut! When we take over the park’s lease we’ll keep everything in good order.

• Both play areas now have new signs. They needed information which will be important if ever there’s an accident in or near the parks.

• Finally - two poles of the same height on Marford’s zebra crossing! We think downlighters on top of the poles might help. Councillors met with WCBC to discuss as GCC does not have the power to install these lights itself.

• We do have powers re. footway lightingnine of our footway lighting poles need replacement; the work will take place this year.

• Our vandalised Tommy has been replaced with a new one.

• We successfully applied for a grant of £48k to restore the biodiversity of Gresford Lake.

• GCC introduced its ‘Cyneﬁn Award’ as part of our primary schools’ Eisteddfodau. We greatly enjoyed judging the fantastic art and craft produced by children in The Rofft and All Saints – bendigedig!

• The budget for 2023-24 has been setsee it on our website.

• We are at the Artisan Market on 30th April if there’s anything you’d like to ﬁnd out or ask us. We also have our ‘Monthly Meet’ on the last Saturday of every month in the library, 1:15pm - 2:30pm.
