Childrens Play Area completed
As promised in previous newsletters our programme of providing new or improved childrens play areas continues.
Caerleon Park playground, dismantled for health and safety reasons several years ago, has been re-equipped at a cost of about £14,000. Swings, a roundabout and two multiplay units have been installed with a grass kick-about area enclosed by metal fencing. The site is very popular with local children.
Our next objective is to provide a play area in the ABC Park.

"Stray" Horses in Trowbridge
Following the recent increase in the number of horses in Trowbridge your Councillors have requested that the Council carry out an operation to collect as many as possible. Due to the number of complaints from residents in St. Mellons the Council has carried out several "catches" there, however, none have taken place in Trowbridge so far because very few complaints about horses have come from Trowbridge residents.
TROWBRIDGE SHOPPING CENTRE
It has taken a great deal of effort and time but we are getting closer to building the new shops in Trowbridge.
Draft plans of the Trowbridge Shopping Centre Redevelopment were viewed by residents in July.
The "project steering group" which includes your Councillors, Council officers, and the Cardiff Community Housing Association, meet in September to consider resident’s views and finalise the planning application to will enable the development to proceed.
The final planning application will be submitted to Cardiff Council’s Planning Committee before Christmas. Redevelopment will be phased with demolition of part of the centre later this year or early next year.
A new row of shops on Abergele Road will be built first. After these are completed the rest of the shopping centre will be demolished and work begun on building houses and flats on the remainder of the site.
The new Community Centre will then be built. The whole project should be completed by the end of 2007.
