RESIDENTS of a Breconshire village can keep up with events in the community thanks to a new notice board.

The Vale of Grwyney Community Council was awarded funding from the Big Lottery to replace Glangrwyney’s old dilapidated notice board with a new ’man-made timber’ from made recycled bin bags.

The board has been has been sited in the car park by the village hall and will be used by Glangrwyney Village Hall, as well as the council.

Council chairman Dave Sharman, expressed his sincere thanks to the Big Lottery Fund, for funding the project, and also to Cllr Roger Llewelyn, for professionally erecting the board.

He said: "The community council hopes the notice board will act as a conduit for promoting local events and provide advice on council services for the benefit of residents and visitors alike."

The Big Lottery Fund has also enabled a new notice board to be provided in Llangenny, as well as benches throughout the vale.
