Penygroes Park gets some money

Saturday October 11th 2008 was a great day for Penygroes park as it recieved a donation of £370 towards its regeneration.

The West Wales branch of the Federation of Master Builders made the donation at their annual dinner in Tenby towards the provision of play equipment suitable for disabled people.  Each year they support a particular charity and this year they choose to support the efforts of the Penygroes Park Steering Committee in their attempt to upgrade and regenerate the park.  This donation has given the committee a significant boost of moral and also financially.

During the summer, with the help of Menter Cwm Gwendraeth and Carmarthenshire County Council, committee members have been working hard putting together a grant application bid to WREN, a grant scheme linked to Pwllfawatkin Landfill Site in Cwmgorse.  If we are successful we will get £125,000 towards play equipment in the park.  Members of the Youth Club have worked with the committee to choose the equipment so fingers crossed 2009 will see lots of new equipment being errected in the park.

This was the fourth games evening held at Penygroes Memorial Hall and just as successful as previous events.

Although this time it was predominately under 10’s that attended, it was just as pleasant to see them enjoying themselves.

As usual the most popular games were Bowls and Tippett but all the games were played.

Images to follow…

Cross Hands Neighbourhood Policing Team

Hello! I am Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Ciaran Ryan 8035, and I am responsible for Neighbourhood Policing issues in Penygroes. I thought I would post to introduce myself and explain a little about what my role is. I work out of Cross Hands Police Station and form part of the Neighbourhood Policing Team for the Upper Gwendraeth valley, along with my colleagues PCSO Peter Williams and PC 312 Wyn Davies. Neighbourhood Policing is the police services commitment to improving your quality of life by working together with partners, and targeting the issues that you identify as those that matter.

To achieve this I am keen to forge links with and hear the opinions of all community groups and individuals on any concerns or problems they may be experiencing in the area. You will see a lot more of me over the coming months (whether you like it or not!) on foot patrol or at local events. If you have any quality of life issues in the Penygroes area or require confidential advice please do not hesitate to get in touch with me (contact details below) or stop me while I’m on foot patrol and have a chat, that is what I am here for. Also, if you require us to attend at an event and give advice on Community Safety or just provide a presence, get in touch. I look forward to meeting you all and helping to make Penygroes a safer place to live and work.

  • I run a drop-in community surgery on the last Wednesday of every month between 5-6pm in Penygroes Memorial Hall which all are welcome to attend.
  • You can email me at ciaran.ryan@dyfed-powys.pnn.police.uk
  • You can contact me direct at Cross Hands on 01269-832090
  • You can ring the Dyfed-Powys 24-hour non-emergency number on 0845 330 2000 and ask to speak to Cross Hands Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Penygroes Park Consultation Day Tuesday 17th April

The turnout for the Park Consultation was better than expected with over 200 local residents showing interest and giving their thoughts on how they would like to see the park area developed.

Members of the Carmarthenshire County Council’s Parks Department, Menter Cym Gwendraeth & The One Fund were there to provide additional information.
The refreshments were provided by Sutton Brothers Developers.  
The story was also given the ‘page 3′ treatment in last weeks Carmarthen Journal. 

Proposed Park Equipment

The information is being collated by Menter Cwm Gwendraeth and is expected to be available shortly.
Thank you to everyone that came along and especially to everyone who helped on the day to make it such a success.
