Hello this long time, been checking in so took off the football things sorry. Just to remind people we have community councillors in our villages so if you see anything in our villages that you think both the community council and Caerphilly council should know about, please tell us.
We have informed people that we will have money available for the community defibs. All of us on the community council hope this will help in the future.
Argoed Village Hall need help and are looking for someone to help look after the hall. Please check with them because this is a paid position and a few hours are available every week. They are also looking for committee members so check with them. The Hall puts on so many things and the choir practice on a Monday is a joy to hear. ( The community council holds its meetings in there on a Monday so hear them.)
Speaking of choirs, there is a new one meeting in Markham Leisure centre so contact them for details as well please.
As always, I will try and find out if there is help for people available especially when we are facing a rise in our electric and gas bills soon. If it continues there will be another hard winter coming up so hopefully any help available can be put in place before things deteriorate too much. I will post on here anyway.
Onto the darlings of e_ harley street, Aneurin Bevan Health Board have been justifiably admonished over their handling of the contracts given out to them. A newspaper report sets it all out. It's about time but personally I think they need to lose some of their big salaries because of their ineptitude and the way patients in those surgeries affected were treated. I mean both Aneurin Bevan Health Board and the e- harley street directors by that remark. I am still taking viewpoints on the surgery since Aneurin Bevan took it back over and will be again handing it over to our representatives in the Senedd. I will of course keep people aware of what is happening but the usual problems are still appearing. Lack of appointments, cost of taxis to Bryntirion for thise without transport. Lack of evening appointments for those in work and the underused Markham clinic. If anything else just let me know.
Any thing else you want to put on here let me know please.
