CORONATION OF KING CHARLES III

 King Charles Coronation

 The Coronation Tea Party was a huge success! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves:

"Just a quick message to say thank you so much to everyone that organised the coronation party on Monday. My daughter absolutely loved it. It was a fantastic afternoon."
"Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon, we all had a great time. The children really enjoyed it all"

****************************************

 

Most residents of Old St Mellons will have never experienced living at the time of the Coronation of a monarch. Only a very few of us will have some memory of the Coronation of our late Queen Elizabeth II, since it’s 70 years since the last Coronation celebration. We will have the privilege of witnessing the Coronations of King Charles and Queen Camilla on Saturday 6th May 2023.

 To celebrate this event, your Community Council will host an afternoon tea for children and families of Old St Mellons in the Village Hall, Newport Road. Each child attending will be given a commemorative Coronation mug. The afternoon tea will be held on Monday 8th May at 3pm until 5pm. There will be a Fancy Dress competition and a Children's Entertainer.

 If you would like your child to take part in this event and receive a Commemorative mug, please complete the form attached and post it to the Clerk to Old St Mellons Community Council, the Village Hall, Newport Road, Old St Mellons. There is a mail box at the gates to the Village Hall. If you would prefer, you can email the Clerk at;

The South Wales Police & Crime Commissioner has launched his annual community survey. The aim of the survey is to seek feedback from the public about:

  • what can be improved to make people feel safe wherever they live, work, or spend time in South Wales
  • their views and experiences of engaging with the police in their local area
  • their views on the options being considered for the policing element of council tax payments (the “precept”).

The results from this survey will be helpful as part of the decision making for setting the 2023/24 police precept, as well as the way we pursue the delivery of Neighbourhood Policing and Community Safety work. It will provide the Commissioner and his team with a broader understanding of the issues making people feel unsafe and how we work with the police and local organisations to better understand where and how resources should be targeted to keep communities safe and provide reassurance.  

The Commissioner is committed to ensuring that we hear the views of as many people as possible and would appreciate your support as community representatives to encourage people in your areas to take part before the survey closes on Tuesday 13th December 2022. I would really value it if you will support this approach by promoting and circulating the survey to your constituents via whatever mechanisms and forums that you have in place.

Attached posters and graphics, which promote the various ways of taking part in the consultation. Alternatively, details of how to take part in the survey are included below:

Mae Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throsedd De Cymru wedi lansio ei arolwg cymunedol blynyddol. Nod yr arolwg yw gofyn am adborth gan y cyhoedd am:

  • yr hyn y gellir ei wella i wneud i bobl deimlo'n ddiogel ble bynnag maen nhw'n byw, yn gweithio, neu'n treulio amser yn Ne Cymru
  • eu barn a'u profiadau o drafod gyda'r heddlu yn eu hardal leol
  • eu barn am yr opsiynau sy'n cael eu hystyried ar gyfer yr elfen blismona o daliadau treth gyngor (y "praesept").

Bydd canlyniadau'r arolwg hwn yn ddefnyddiol fel rhan o'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau ar gyfer gosod praesept heddlu 2023/24, yn ogystal â'r ffordd yr ydym yn mynd ati i ddarparu gwaith Plismona Cymdogaeth a Diogelwch Cymunedol. Bydd yn rhoi dealltwriaeth ehangach i'r Comisiynydd a'i dîm o'r materion sy'n gwneud i bobl deimlo'n anniogel a sut rydym yn gweithio gyda'r heddlu a'r sefydliadau lleol i ddeall yn well ble a sut y dylid targedu adnoddau i gadw cymunedau'n ddiogel a darparu sicrwydd. 

Mae'r Comisiynydd wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau ein bod yn clywed barn cynifer o bobl â phosib, a byddem yn gwerthfawrogi eich cefnogaeth fel cynrychiolwyr cymunedol i annog pobl yn eich ardaloedd i gymryd rhan cyn i'r arolwg gau ddydd Mawrth 13 Rhagfyr 2022. Byddwn wir yn ei werthfawrogi os byddwch yn cefnogi'r dull hwn drwy hyrwyddo a chylchredeg yr arolwg i'ch etholwyr drwy ba bynnag fecanweithiau a fforymau sydd gennych ar waith. 

Dwi wedi atodi posteri a graffeg, sy'n hyrwyddo'r gwahanol ffyrdd o gymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad. Fel arall, mae'r manylion ynglŷn â sut i gymryd rhan yn yr arolwg wedi'u cynnwys isod:
