A note from your County Councillor After the last lot of snow I spent two hours one Sunday afternoon with a Community Spirited gentleman from Mold, John Cranwell, clearing the field in Cadole of rubbish after the winter sledging. We removed over twenty broken sledges and a dozen sacks of various items discarded by people who have supposedly come to enjoy our beautiful countryside. We also picked up huge quantities of small sharp fragments of broken ridged plastic which if ingested by farm animals could have killed them. The county did respond to our request to enforce the no parking in the Loggerheads area and on the Saturday prior to the last snow fall a team of council staff cleaned all the no parking signs to ensure there could be no disputes over the parking restrictions. I was invited to attend the March meeting of the Gwernymynydd Community Council where I was made very welcome and where I explained what DCC would do to enforce the no parking in Cadole. The roads repair and resurfacing programme has been in part agreed for this coming year. The good news is that the county will commence resurfacing the B5430 from the Valley Lodge junction to Graianrhyd through May and June. The Welsh Government have also now given Denbighshire a further 1.2 million pounds towards our roads and this budget has yet to be allocated. I have put in a plea for Bryn Alyn and two other small roads in the ward. Watch this space. I was very sorry to hear the sad news of Dolly Collins death. I had known Dolly for many years when in my mis
spent youth I played pool on a Friday night in the Druid Inn and Dolly kept us all in order. The fact she was held in high esteem was evident at her funeral where many people had to stand outside because the church was so full. She will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. Finally, did you know that there are now outreach Post Office Services available in the Llandegla Community Shop every Thursday morning between 9.15 and 11.15. In the Raven Inn every Thursday lunch time between 12.00 and 2.00 and in Eryrys at the Canolfan Dewi Sant every Thursday afternoon between 2.30 and 4.30. By supporting our local Post Office services you will help us to keep them. Best wishes, Martyn
