LCC respectfully asks visitors to the recreation ground not to light BBQs. The ground is dry in the summer months, and the Park is next to the historic ancient Beech Woods. Yesterday, the fire brigade had to be called because someone had deposited two used BBQs in the plastic waste bin next to the wooden shelters.

The kissing gate opposite the Usk Bridge and along the side of Llangattock Cemetery have been removed temporarily. The contractors, Alun Griffiths, tell us that this is to create an accessible route while the pavement is worked on in order to make it wider. While this phase of work is ongoing single-file traffic controlled by traffic lights will be switched to the other side of Hillside Road by the Vine Tree. The contractors say this will probably happen on Friday. When the gates are replaced, the path will be raised up to prevent it flooding. LCC continues to work with others to improve this path and make it accessible to all. More news on that to follow in due course.
The Council will consider applications received within the next 5 days due to maintaining services levels.

The roadworks at the bottom (northern) edge of Llangattock, will edge downhill in two stages over the course of the next week, with phase three, down to the Vine Tree junction, starting on the 20th March. These images have been provided by the contractor, Alun Griffiths, for information.
