Message from the Mayor......
The Town Council has erected cycle racks in Broad St and outside of the Activity Centre. Within the next month the council hope to have a cycle hire facility in place, whereby members of the public can hire bicycles for the day and enjoy the routes.
The council would be willing to supply the bicycles, and is currently searching for a business or individual who would store the bikes and manage the hire scheme. If you are interested, please let a councillor or the Clerk know.
The entire project has been funded by a grant of £11,000 from the Sports Council of Wales; therefore there has been no financial burden on the Town itself. The Council hope and believe that the scheme is a further incentive to attract more tourists to visit and stay within our town. The routes promote healthy lifestyle activities and encourage visitors and residents alike to enjoy our beautiful views and dramatic countryside.
Prior to Easter the Town Council intends to formally launch the project with publicity in the local press. Look out for details.
Matters of concern: - Dog Fouling – We have had several complaints about this subject from the residents of Tan-Y-Mur. The road through the Estate and the lane at the back are constantly being used as ‘Dog Toilets’… This is not only repulsive it is a health hazard, and is against the law. Please, please, will the person/persons concerned clear up after their dogs, and make this area safe for everyone especially the young mums who have to take their children to school over this route. The community police have been informed of residents concern.
Wendy Davies.
