Central Park
Pastor Dai has just been nominated Chairman of a local group who are committed to seeing the derelict playground on Central Drive being turned back into a playground and community garden. The group consists of a partnership between Torfaen council, Communities First, Cold Barn Farm, the Trevethin Residents Organisation and Hill City Church (and we're delighted to be involved!)
We held a community consultation/fun-day on Saturday 10th May 2008 on the site of the playground, which saw around 200 residents come and join us for a sunny, fun-filled afternoon of face-painting, football skills, DJ-ing, dancing, and even a hog-roast! It was a huge success (click here to read the local press release) and the response to our proposed plans was overwhelmingly positive.
However, we're still open to suggestions and feedback from local people, so feel free to get in touch if you'd like to be involved, see the plans again or obtain more information.
