The problem of littering is still a huge issue. We volunteer do our best to sort it out. 

Let's take pride in our community. 

Coronavirus update - Caergybi

Bore da, firstly I hope you're all keeping well.

We're living in a strange time and there is much concern here in our community in Holyhead. 

I'd like to say DIOLCH to the Caergybi Covid-19 volunteer group who are working so hard for this town, I'm delighted to help them but I'm one of many more. I'd like to say DIOLCH also to fellow London Rd Town Cllr Keith Thomas for his assistance and also Glyn Haynes for assisting on a few issues. 

You're not alone, people are here to help. Don't be too proud to reach out. In the hour of darkness the only light we have is our kindness.

STAY HOME! STAY SAFE!

Christmas Fun

Christmas events are coming thick end fast. I was delighted to attend two on the 29th, one at my former stomping ground at St Mary's RC School and the other at County. 

Congratulations to the organisers. Remember the lights switch on and other events in Holyhead on Saturday the 30th!

For residents of London Rd I'm putting together a newsletter to send out ASAP. 

Codi Sbwriel - Litter Picking

Great fun was had by all during our latest litter picking session on London Road. We visited Ffordd Feurig, Ffordd Jasper, Ffordd Hirnos, Llanfawr Road, Marchog, Gilbert St, Cecil St and Wian Street - it was quite hectic and all in one hour.

I've reported larger items of bulky waste to the County Council to be removed, the car park behind Craig y Wylan seems to be a real trouble-spot.

Diolch o galon i Gladys Pritchard a Rosemary Heaney o Ferched y Wawr am ymuno efo ni - pleser go iawn oedd cael cwmni y ddwy ohonoch.

We'll be litter picking again soon and Clwb Hoffi Coffi will be restarting also, I will inform people regarding dates.

Diolch eto! Thanks again!

London Road News

Bore da!

It has been a busy time recently for everyone it seems. Firstly, I would like to thank residents on London Road for passing on their concerns regarding suspected drug taking at the London Road Park. This information was immediately passed to the Town Council who subsequently passed it on to the police. I would like to thank the Town Council for their prompt response!

Ongoing issue of littering/fly-tipping!!!

Sadly this is a recurring issue. Again I'd like to thank residents for passing on their concerns. Credit to the staff at Ynys Mon County Council, they have responded quickly to concerns raised in the past. Going forward a long term solution is needed. The constant fly-tipping is making the area we live ugly, I'm aware this isn't a London Road issue but if does seem to be worse here than in other areas.

Resident has approached me with possible ideas such as gating off the lanes behind Lligwy St, Henry St and Garden Place. I'm more than happy to pass on these ideas. Another suggestion has been a communal skip - almost an amnesty and chance to get ride of large bulky items. I'm aware the County Council now charges for pick up etc. I often wonder if sending out the van to parts of Holyhead alone covers the cost residents pay. If you have any suggestions please feel free to drop me a message.

On a positive, a long term solution has been found regarding the rubbish in the garages at the top of Lligwy Street. Residents had expressed concerns of safety and anti-social behaviour. I'm grateful to everyone for their support.

Digwyddiadau - Events

Clwb Hoffi Coffi - Boreau coffi/Coffee mornings

Well, Clwb Hoffi Coffi is underway. In essence Clwb Hoffi Coffi is a coffee morning held at London Road Seniors Club. The club is open for anyone to attend. The aim is to get people out and communicating with others. Also, there is an opportunity for those who attend to practice their Welsh skills in a relaxed and informal environment. A big DIOLCH to Ann Sperry for allowing us to use the centre on London Road.

The next bore coffi will be on Saturday the 28th of April 10am-12pm. Then the 12th of May. All for free! 

LRLP - London Road Litter Pickers

LRLP goes from strength to strength with new members having joined us recently. We collected 10 bags of discarded rubbish at the park on London Road - its such a shame that people find the need to throw rubbish at will at the expense of the area and environment. I'd like to thank everyone for their support. The club is also a great way to socialise and get people out and about, feel free to join us - especially with the weather being warmer.

The next Litter Picking session will be on Sunday the 29th of April 2pm-3pm - we'll be meeting by Craig y Wylan on London Road!

London Road Newsletter

The London Road Newsletter has been distributed to most of the ward, apologies if you haven't had a copy yet one will be with you asap.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas is almost upon us! I'm not sure about everyone else but as every I'm under prepared and needless to say will be rushing around like a headless chicken on the 24th! Some things will never change...

It's been quite a year, in many different ways! It is a great honour to serve our community here in London Road. I was raised in Cecil Street as a youngster and have so many fond memories of the place. 

I would often be found cycling on my push bike all the way from Cecil Street via the back lanes to Garden Place, usually using it as a weapon of mass destruction as I'd crash into walls!

Since being elected Keith Thomas and I have been active in the communty. We have sought to bring a new politics to the Town Council and to bring the councillors closer to the very people who elect them! Change will take longer than I'd initially anticipated but it will come. It's time to move Holyhead forward.

We have established the London Road Litter Pickers who meet on Sunday’s to litter pick the local area – feel free to join us! 

 

Another highlight was heloing establish Yarnbombers Caergybi, Sandra Jones and the crew led the way and have done wonders already. Yarnbombers Caergybi have recently moved home and can now be fround at Caffi Mon in London Road. A huge DIOLCH to Tez and all at the cafe for allowing us the use of a room for FREE!

Holyhead may be a town poor in pocket at times but it is a town rich in kindness, warmth and community.

In July we held the London Road Barbacue at the play area on London Road itself. As a Town Councillor I have been invited to many different events, from the moving but rather windy Remembrance Sunday to the various Christmas Fayre's dotted around the town, and much more in between.

 

We have also attended to the needs of residents in the ward who have brought various issue to our attention.

We look forward to the year ahead and continuing to serve our community.

Very best wishes to you all for 2018!
