Cyngor Cymuned Llanfaes Llanmaes Community Council LLANMAES COMMUNITY COUNCIL MISSION STATEMENT Llanmaes is a picturesque village in the west of the Vale of Glamorgan, situated one mile from the historical town of Llantwit Major and four miles from the market town of Cowbridge. It has a village hall; St Cattwg’s Church, dating back to 1234; and a public house, The Blacksmiths Arms. The land around the village is of historical interest as archaeologists have discovered important Celtic and Roman remains. Llanmaes has its own Community Council which covers the village of Llanmaes, stretches east to include Millands Park and Picketston and north to include Pen y Bryn. The Community Council has seven members and a paid clerk and meets every third Wednesday in the month. The responsibilities of the Council include a village green, a memorial garden, a small triangle of land at the northern entrance of the village, and a children’s play park. The Community Council plays an important and active role within the village and surrounding area. It has representatives on the Village Hall Joint Management Committee and the Village Social Committee. It liaises with the National Museum of Wales on local archaeological issues and continues to work with the National Assembly for Wales and the Vale of Glamorgan Council in pursuit of a resolution to the serious problem of flooding within the village. The Community Council maintains a village website, www.llanmaesonline.com, which provides good links with the various groups within the village and provides information about the village for visitors to the Vale of Glamorgan. The Community Council provides a local voice to the Welsh Government and County Council on matters of local importance and will continue to work for the best interest of the village and its residents.
