The Bronington Bugle Autumn 2010 Issue 1 WHO ARE BRONINGTON COMMUNITY GROUP? We are a not-for-profit group set up in early 2010 with the aim of producing a quarterly newsletter for the area. We will also do at-cost printing of leaflets and posters for local groups and businesses. If you think we could help you, please contact Simon or Sarah on 01948 780 688. BRONINGTON COMMUNITY COUNCIL Bronington Community Group is to be congratulated on producing this newsletter and the Community Council are pleased to have supported the venture from the outset. It is hoped that quarterly newsletters will help to keep residents aware of current issues affecting the community, as well as providing information about events and activities which may be of interest. You may be interested to know that the Community Council has recently, after prolonged consideration, decided to apply to Wrexham County Borough Council to take over the ownership and maintenance of the Maes Llwyn play area in Bronington. This is the only play area within the Community Council boundary and has suffered from problems with wet ground for several years. Wrexham County Borough Council has a tiny budget for the maintenance of all play areas in the county and no budget at all for improvements. Subject to approval by Wrexham County Borough Council, the Community Council are to apply for grant funding which will be used to hopefully resolve the drainage problem and also to improve the appearance and facilities on the site. It is hoped that the play area will become a pleasure to visit, for young and old alike. Watch this space! If you wish to raise any general matters affecting the community please give these, preferably in writing, to your local councillor or to the Clerk. Christine Henderson (Chairperson) 1 THE HEALTHY YOUTH SCHEME In March 2010, the Rural Youth Project changed into the Healthy Youth Scheme, adapting the Healthy Schools ethos into youth clubs. We run clubs within Overton, Bangor on Dee and Bettisfield for ages 11–18. Bronington and Bettisfield Youth Club runs every Wednesday in Bettisfield Village Hall, we also pick up young people at Bronington outside the shop at 6:00pm and return at 8:45pm. We have fantastic support from the community and parents, and the young people are hoping to plan a community event in the near future to thank the communities. We run healthy eating sessions and education sessions, the young people plan programmes with the underlying healthy ethos. Recently two young people from the club have been elected onto the Senedd Yr Ifanc (Youth Parliament), to represent young people in the rural area. We always welcome new members and so, if you would like to attend please meet us at the shop one Wednesday!

The hedgerows around Bronington are abundant with the blossom of the Blackthorn in April, boding well for a good Sloe crop in October. To make your own winter warmer you will need: 1 lb of Sloes 1 lb of granulated sugar 1 75 cl bottle of gin Pick and wash the Sloes then freeze for at least 24 hours to mimic the effects of frost, and to remove the need to prick the fruit. Defrost the Sloes and place in a large clip-top glass jar. Add the sugar followed by the gin. Stir and place in a dark cupboard. Stir daily until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to steep for at least 1 month before straining through muslin and bottling.

As many of you will know I work from Overton police station along with PCSOs Jemma White and Beth Large. We are also assisted in our role by Dean, Maria and Keifer Hewitt who are members of the special constabulary. I have had a look back over the 8 months and we have had four theft reports from near-by farms, one theft of newspapers from the local store and a smashed window at the school. With the new school year now upon us again, there will probably be a return of the parking problems outside the school at drop off and pick up times. We appreciate that this is always going to be a problem, but can we ask that parents have some consideration to local residents and other road users and most importantly consider the safety of the young children.

  • Wrexham Unitary Development Plan

    Wrexham Unitary Development Plan

    Wrexham Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report 2004-5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report produced by Wrexham County Borough Council, in accordance with the requirements of the Welsh Assembly Government. It covers the year 2004-5 and also looks at the general context and long term trends. Among the key findings of the report are: The Wrexham Unitary Development Plan: the Wrexham UDP, which sets out policies and proposals for the development and use of land in the County Borough up to 2011, was adopted on 14th February 2005. Housing: there were 395 housing completions in 2004-5, slightly below the average since 1996 of 420. The UDP policy figure is 385 dwellings per annum. The County Borough had a housing land supply in 2004 of 7.10 years, well above the minimum of 5 years required by Planning Policy Wales. Employment: the take up of employment land in 2004-5 was 7.1 hectares, compared with the average since 1996 of 6.9 hectares per annum, and the UDP policy figure of 20 hectares per annum. Shopping: Details of the non food retail warehousing scheme on the former Carlsberg Tetley site were approved by the Council in 2004, and the development is now under construction. A major retail development at the Eagles Meadow site in Wrexham was granted planning permission in July 2005. Wrexham is ranked as the third most important shopping centre in Wales, and 101st in the UK. Transport: Construction of the Wrexham Industrial Estate access road was delayed by the decision of the Welsh Assembly Government not to approve the necessary Compulsory Purchase Orders.

The Treasure Act 1996 is an enduring and thriving success, ensuring that museums are able to acquire the most significant archaeological discoveries for the benefit of all. 2011 saw a record number of potential Treasure finds reported in England and Wales (969), representing a 12.8% increase over the number reported in the previous year. Of these items, 345 have been (or are to be) acquired by museums. Many museum acquisitions have been made possible only through the kind assistance of funding bodies, particularly the Art Fund, Headley Trust, Heritage Lottery Fund, National Heritage Memorial Fund and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund. We should be thankful to these organisations for their recognition of the importance of archaeological finds and their support of museums’ efforts to acquire them. I am also impressed with local fundraising campaigns, and it is heartening to see so many individuals and organisations in local communities supporting the acquisition of Treasure items and investing in their heritage.

  • Country Walks Around Wrexham: Route 6 – RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG

    Country Walks Around Wrexham: Route 6 – RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG

    Country Walks Around Wrexham Route 6 – RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG Mountain Reservoirs (5½ miles / 3 hours) Rhos – Ty Mawr – Esclusham Mountain – Bronwylfa – Rhos This route may be linked to CWAW 3 to create a 9 mile walk. This walk is a gentle climb up to Esclusham Mountain passing Ty-Mawr and Cae- llwyd reservoirs and includes a short section of moorland. It begins at the Sun Inn, Hall Street, Rhosllanerchrugog (grid ref. 289468). Cars: Plenty of parking space is available nearby. Buses: There are regular bus services from Wrexham, travel information: 01978 266166. Please ensure that your dog does not stray from the footpaths. Keep it on a lead in fields with sheep and on the open mountain where the grouse are easily disturbed. The route is not suitable for wheelchairs, buggies or small children. WALK DIRECTIONS ARE IN BOLD TYPE Starting from the Sun Inn, Rhos, follow Hall Lane for a short distance away from the village, to Park Lodge with its stone relief depicting the sun. The emblem is believed to be part of the Jones family crest, owners of Llanerchrugog Hall in the late 18th century. The building was originally part of the Llanerchrugog Estate and a tree-lined driveway to the Hall ran from here though the estate parkland. Retrace your steps for a few metres to take the path through a long narrow open space, this was once a Great Western Railway line linking Rhos with Wrexham. In 1893 a group of Rhos businessmen formed a consortium to run their own railway to connect the village with Wrexham.
