OLD ST MELLONS VILLAGE ASSOCIATION

“Promoting Sporting & Social Activities and Community Amenities”

(A non-profit distributing organisation)

Hello to all our supporters – young, not so young, present and future!

Events held at the Village Hall this year included the Spring Quiz in March, Race Night in April, Music & Dance Night in May, Autumn Quiz in September and soon Halloween Disco Night on 28th October.  Also, the Annual Boule competition took place at the Ty'r Winch Road Playing Field in June.

Our events at the Village Hall include a bar (club prices) and, included in the price of a ticket, a supper organised by our Members.  Our future events are posted on the Old St Mellons Community Council’s website and also on the noticeboards located around the village. 

We are always on the look out for new Members so please make contact, details below.  Membership of the Village Association is open to all who are interested in helping to provide both sporting and social activities and community amenities for Old St Mellons.  It is non-profit-making and all members join in a voluntary capacity.  It returns funds raised in the community to the community and has been doing so since 1974.  Recently, funding for two table tennis tables was awarded to the Table Tennis Club.

Cardiff Hubs and Libraries runs a home delivery service that brings the library to the doorstep for residents who are incapacitated and can no longer travel to their local library independently, or carry books home.

This service is available to anyone with the following conditions:

• illness,
• infirmity,
• disability,
• post-operative recovery, or
• long-term isolation.

Home visits are scheduled on a 3 week basis to deliver and collect ordinary or large print books, and audiobooks.​  Residents are initially contacted to discuss their needs and reading tastes and after that they either give the driver a preferred list of books, or the books are chosen by experienced and knowledgeable library staff.

Books can also be reserved online for delivery as soon as they become available.

This service is entirely free, covers the whole of Cardiff and contributes towards the Council’s Plan for wellbeing with the particular aim of supporting older people/carers and preventing loneliness.

Please are you able to raise the awareness of this service within your Communities by distributing the attached Welsh and English posters in buildings managed by the Community Council and/or including the information in any appropriate communications issued to residents through social media, webpages, newsletters etc?

Any actions/activities that you can undertake to promote this service within your remit of a Community Council would be very much appreciated and will hopefully bring benefit to the residents you represent.

If you require further information regarding this service, please​​​ contact our home delivery service on 029 2087 1333 or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.​.​

How much would you pay for policing?

Precept survey launched giving residents the chance to ‘have their say’.

Did you know the Police & Crime Commissioner is responsible for setting the South Wales Police budget and deciding what further funds need to be raised from the additional charge on council tax?

This is called the police ‘precept’ and accounts for nearly one half of South Wales Police’s funding, with the rest coming from the Government. In setting the precept, the Commissioner consults with the local electorate through the ‘Our Police, Community’ survey which was launched earlier this month.

Responses to the survey will help the Commissioner decide what the public will pay for policing through their council tax in 2024/25.

Residents living in a Band D Property in South Wales currently pay £27.04 per month for policing, but over sixty per cent of residents in South Wales are below Band D and pay less and may also receive council tax discounts or benefits. Residents in South Wales currently pay the Welsh average for policing, which is significantly less than the cost of policing in North Wales.

Faint fyddech chi'n ei dalu am blismona?

Lansiwyd arolwg praesept sy'n rhoi cyfle i drigolion 'ddweud eu dweud'

Oeddech chi'n gwybod mai'r Comisiynydd sy'n gyfrifol am bennu cyllideb Heddlu De Cymru a phenderfynu pa arian ychwanegol sydd angen ei godi o'r tâl ychwanegol ar y dreth gyngor?

Gelwir hyn yn 'praesept' yr heddlu ac mae'n cyfrif am bron i hanner cyllid Heddlu De Cymru, gyda'r gweddill yn dod o'r Llywodraeth. Wrth osod y praesept, mae'r Comisiynydd yn ymgynghori â'r etholwyr lleol drwy'r arolwg 'Ein Heddlu, y Gymuned' a lansiwyd yn gynharach y mis hwn.

Bydd ymatebion i'r arolwg yn helpu'r Comisiynydd i benderfynu beth fydd y cyhoedd yn ei dalu am blismona drwy eu treth gyngor yn 2024/25.

Mae preswylwyr sy'n byw mewn Eiddo Band D yn Ne Cymru yn talu £27.04 y mis am wasanaethau plismona ar hyn o bryd, ond mae mwy na 60% o breswylwyr De Cymru yn byw mewn band eiddo sy'n is na Band D ac yn talu llai, ac mae'n bosibl eu bod yn cael disgowntiau neu fudd-daliadau treth gyngor hefyd. Yn Ne Cymru, mae preswylwyr yn talu'r gyfradd gyfartalog yng Nghymru am wasanaethau plismona ar hyn o bryd, sy'n is o lawer na chost plismona yng Ngogledd Cymru.
