This consultation adds to our understanding of how you want to use the open spaces on Twyncarmel. Common themes that came up included: the need for more play areas for younger children; additional car parking; requests for allotments/community garden maintenance; and to put back play areas by nos. 70 80 and near 69 - 65.

There are links between lack of activities for children and young people and complaints of children / youth anti social behaviour. Working with Hedfan, we will be consulting children and young people about their needs at the local primary schools shortly. In the meantime, we have gone along to the Youth Club at The Fact Shop and asked the young people what they would like to see on the estate.
Your views have been sent to the council for consideration alongside other responses in the Ward/County Borough.
