• Llangors Youth and community centre when the Post Office is open, Thursday May 13^th 9.30 – 11.30am or Monday May 17^th 10 – 12.

Many thanks

Julie Pugh and the CA Team

Sadly, our Community Centre has been broken into on at least three occasions over the past three weekends, twice over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Some damage occurred namely broken locks and doors, and the wheelchair has been broken beyond repair. As well as this, they left an awful mess in the main hall. Repairs have been undertaken with new locks and doors made secure. The Neighbourhood Policing Team have been informed. 

In the near future, it is hoped that we can work with the shop committee to share additional security measures.

If anyone sees anything suspicious when they are out walking, in or around the area of the Community Centre, then please ring 101, do not confront anyone.

Your help with this is very much appreciated.

A fence has been erected around the play park on Friday. We have cleared some of the paths and had some trees cut down which were causing problems. Hopefully some tables and benches will be obtained, which will ensure that there is a safe area for children to play and a place for families and friends to meet.

The telephone kiosk in the middle of Llangors now has a new purpose in life! It is being used by members of the public to share and/ or exchange seeds and plants. If you have any surplus seeds or plants that you would like to donate, please leave them in the kiosk. Similarly, if there is anything there you would like to take from the kiosk, then please do so. It is all free of charge. There is hand sanitiser in the kiosk to use.

Many thanks to everyone who helped cheer up the village for St. David’s Day.

Diolch i bawb wnaeth help rhoi gwen ar wynebau ar Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi.

For the first time in many years, the Christmas tree on the old village hall site, at the junction in Llangors, has been decorated with red fairy lights topped with a green star. The tree on the triangle has also been decorated.

Our thanks are extended to Sam Ridge, a resident of Llangors, who sourced the lights and put them on the tree. Many thanks also to those who contributed towards the cost of the lights. The staff and residents of Brookside Care Home made woolen pom poms which have been used to decorate the trees. Many thanks to them also.

I’m sure you will agree that it looks very festive this year!! 

On Tuesday November 17th, a 25 year lease for a Community Asset Transfer of ground from Powys County Council to Llangors Youth and Community Centre was signed by Melrose East (Chair) and Lawrence Duffy (Treasurer). This portion of ground, on the site of the old Primary School, will, in due course, be  a children’s play park.

Following this momentous signing, another signing took place. This was for a 5 year lease for a portion of ground where the old play park was sited, adjacent to the Community Centre. This is where a community run shop will be built, another vital facility for our village.

Exciting times!!

The Community Centre has been closed for most activities (Post Office has remained open) since the middle of March due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, work has continued on maintaining the building. At the beginning of the year the main hall was painted and in October the floor in the main hall was resurfaced and new Badminton lines drawn in. This has improved the appearance of the hall considerably. It is now looking very smart and hopefully the Centre can reopen for hire soon.
