  • Association Football Has Long Been the Dominant Sport in the Lower Reaches of the Sirhowy Valley
    THE HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL IN YNYSDDU AND CWMFELINFACH (REVISED JULY 2012) Association football has long been the dominant sport in the lower reaches of the Sirhowy Valley. Geographically, the main catchment area is from Pontllanfraith, south-east to Wattsville in the county borough of Caerphilly. This comprises of the two larger villages of Cwmfelinfach and Ynysddu, together with the three smaller villages of Gelligroes, Wyllie and Brynawel. To fully understand the present structure of the club, it is important to go back to the turn of the 20th century, when football first started in this area, at the same time as the opening of the many collieries, and locally, the most significant of which was Nine Mile Point (initially called Coronation Colliery). Situated between Brynawel and Cwmfelinfach, owners Burnyeat & Brown sunk the first shaft in 1902. The first football club, initially called Ynysddu Albion, was founded by Mary Jane Gilchrist, the local midwife, in July 1905, later ratified by a general meeting in the Black Prince public house at Ynysddu, in October of that year. An article in the South Wales Argus, stated that five sons of Mrs Gilchrist took part in their first game. Unfortunately, fixtures and results for this initial period cannot be accounted for. A number of other local teams were also formed although the ‘Albion’ were regarded as the main club, becoming one of the founder members of the Monmouthshire Senior League in 1907 (four years before the foundation of the Monmouthshire County Football Association). The ‘senior’ team would play its fixtures in the ‘Mon Senior’ and Sirhowy leagues, whilst other teams of various names would play in the Newport & District and ‘West Mon’ leagues.

  • Community Support Officers Good News Stories October to December 2019
    Community Support Officers Good News Stories October to December 2019 British Transport Police (BTP) Cycle theft at Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street stations Cycles were being stolen from the cycle racks both outside the station and on the platforms. BTP CSO’s took undertook a series of initiatives in-order to tackle the crimes. Each day whilst on patrol, they attached a laminated note to the cycles warning owners of the cycle thefts taking place. They ensured the station CCTV was pointing at the racks where possible. They secured funds from the ‘Proceeds of Crime Act’ central pot and purchased 200 good quality cycle locks. If they saw a particularly high value cycle secured with a poor lock, they would secure the cycle with one of the new locks with a note left to the owner to ring BTP. They would then provide the owner with crime reduction advice and allowed them to keep the new lock. Cycle crime has reduced from 43 offences to 18 which is a 58% reduction over the last year. Dyfed Powys Police During County Lines Intensification Week in October, a CSO in Brecon worked in partnership with CID to carry out safeguarding engagement activities with youths at risk of Child Sexual Exploitation, and to raise greater awareness with commercial premises, buses and taxis. As a result valuable intelligence was gathered, and the youths had a better understanding of the different types of exploitation including criminal, sexual and financial, and understanding of county lines drugs issues. Gwent Police Off road bikes – Cwmcarn/Abercarn mountains CSOs have been targeting off-road biking that was generating a number of calls.

With an increasingly onerous funding environment, the need to rationalise our estate and ensure that retained buildings are efficiently utilised and properly maintained is more important than ever. This property review report provides a succinct overview and record of what is a very large and diverse property portfolio. It also presents some key metrics, summarises recent progress made and sets out some of the challenges that lie ahead. The delivery of several superb new buildings, all designed by Property Services, and the associated closure of ageing assets has lifted the quality of the estate. Whilst much has been achieved over recent years, there remains significant scope to further rationalise the estate and dispose of surplus assets. The next phase of the Welsh Government 21st Century Schools initiative, Band B, provides further opportunity to improve our school buildings.
