Cwrt Tarell News
Summer 2015
Following the consultation event in May and feedback we have received since then, we now have your suggestions on how to address some of the issues identified previously.
You told us that fly tipping and the bin store areas was an issue. We have listened: • Cynefin (part of Natural Resources Wales / Welsh Government) have supplied us with “No Fly Tipping” signage and two cameras which we plan to put up shortly. • The signs will be put on the front of the bin stores with the cameras placed to monitor them. Powys County Council Environmental Department is prosecuting a local business who allegedly dumped oil containers in Cwrt Tarell. We are waiting to hear the Court’s decision on this matter. We hope that it will be reported in local papers as a deterrent to other fly tippers. We have asked Powys County Council for another bin and this is on order. We will be arranging a one-off skip amnesty, after which there will be no excuse for dumping bags and other items in the bin areas. We will also be coming around to speak with you all about the importance of recycling. This is not an optional activity. It is expected of everyone living in Powys.

You told us that using the communal gardens was an issue. We have been unable to cut the grass in the rear communal garden because of the following hazards: • Dog mess not being picked up • Stones and other debris in the grass • Obstacles in the way. We are asking for your assistance in dealing with this so you can ALL enjoy the garden this summer. Based on what you have told us we will be carrying out work to improve the paths and areas around the washing lines to make it easier for you to use them all year round. Please remove any pots or other items you have left in the garden. We will then arrange to strim the grass to a level where any smaller obstacles can be identified. We have heard that many of you cannot use the garden space due to dogs being allowed to roam and dog mess not being picked up by owners. We are to suspend permission for dog owners to use the communal garden to exercise their dogs. We will monitor this and ask for your help to identify anyone who does not comply with this. A number of you would like to work in the garden and we are keen to talk to you about putting in raised beds instead of pots dotted everywhere. This would be safer for everyone needing to use the garden and help create areas within the garden for different uses.
