Now that the dust has settled on the amazing news about Crickhowell Community Sports being saved, along with thanking everyone involved in this wonderful example of what we can achieve when we all pull together, we would also like to acknowledge the central role some of our brilliant Councillors have played in making this happen. They have worked tirelessly and collaboratively to ensure this positive outcome for our community. Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!

Some very good news: this Wednesday, restoration work on the Castle will finally begin! All the necessary bat and swift checks have been completed, and the team is ready to go.

Having received a grant from CADW, the Town Council has worked hard all year in ensuing all regulations have been adhered to and completed. The restoration work will see the vegetation (valerian and ivy) removed which is threatening the castle’s stone work, and will be completed shortly. We’re thrilled to see this project reach a conclusion, and hope you all are too.

Here we go again, folks: we are so sad to see that someone has quite deliberately and vindictively snapped off all three of our apple trees at top park. We have a lovely team of local volunteers who spend a lot of time nurturing and caring for our environmental spaces in Crickhowell who work incredibly hard to make spaces look beautiful and pleasant for all. As such, this is hugely upsetting to see for everyone involved. If anyone has any details about who may have done this, then please get in contact. Thank you.

Wonderful news coming out of our High School today. Massive congratulations to all the A-level pupils who have worked so hard to get these results. It is a brilliant achievement and reflective of the dedication of students to learning and the commitment of the teachers to their students. Well done all.

Heroes.

Just a quick update on our Town of Culture bid: unfortunately we did not get through to the next round, but we are happy to have participated regardless. It was always going to be a long-shot.

Importantly, however, the process has meant we have established new and productive relationships with arts organisations in the area, and we will be looking to further develop these going forward into the future.

Big thanks, as ever, goes to Cllr Matt Clark who led on this project, as well as all the other volunteers who helped with the bid. In the meantime we are going to be rooting for the two Welsh towns who did get through: Pontypridd and Port Talbot. Ymlaen, Cymru!

We love this idea! 🥦
If you've grown too much veg, why not share it with people in your community through the Community Fridge. Pop in to Crickhowell Library / Llyfrgell Crughywel to donate 🥕

If you've got a few more runner beans than you’re able to eat, or quickly running out of room in the freezer - then sharing your glut of homegrown veggies with the community would be one way of avoiding waste.

The Community Fridge is for this very purpose - sharing what you don't need/want and taking anything you do.

Every Friday at 10am in Crickhowell Library

Many thanks to F E Richards of Crickhowell for adding splash of colour to the High Street this morning! 🌸🌼🌺

The planter is looking wonderful once again, and we look forward to seeing it flourish throughout the summer.

Thank you to all the local businesses and volunteers that help keep our town looking so beautiful! 🌼
