Thank you to all those people who replied to our survey and attended the public meeting in the Community Hall last Wednesday. There were 194 responses to the survey at 65 people at the meeting. After careful examination of the survey responses and the forms submitted at the meeting, the group of residents organising the project have concluded that there is sufficient public support and that, working together, the project can go ahead.
More than 70 people have volunteered so far. Some with specialist skills and experience are working as part of the core project team to create a Community Benefit Society which will construct a business case and apply for grant funding to create the hub/shop/café. So far people have volunteered in the following roles:
Project manager
Social Business Consultant
Accountant
Legal/Governance
Communications
Volunteer Coordinator
Building Advisor
More volunteers are welcome. In particular, the group is still looking for someone with specialist knowledge of retail market research. There will also be opportunities to help with the build, creating community events and in the cafe/shop. If you know of someone and they could spare some time, please get in touch. Over the next few weeks, the project team will create a detailed project plan, conduct market research and put together a business plan. We will also contact key community stakeholders like the Horseshoe Pub, the Community Hall, Rectory Hotel and shops and businesses in Crickhowell to see how we can work together.
One for your diaries ... this event is being organised by Llangattock Church in Wales School to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. The school council (children) will be serving refreshments and singing a few songs.

As promised, here are the slides from yesterday's meeting about whether there should be a community hub/shop/cafe in Llangattock. It was a really useful meeting, with about 60 people in attendance and 25 apologies from interested people. The meeting discussed whether a group of residents should set up a Community Benefit Society in order to raise funds and apply for grants for a shop/hub/cafe. Some residents raised concerns about the impact such a venture could have on shops in Crickhowell, and hospitality businesses in Llangattock. The CBS project group and the community council will take all these comments on board as they consider any next steps. Click on the image or the link to read it.

Thank you to everyone who completed our survey about whether Llangattock needs a hub/shop/cafe. We will analyse the results and present them at a public meeting at Llangattock Community Hall at 7pm on Wednesday 11th September. Early indications are that there is plenty of desire but we need to turn that into active support with the right team to lead it. Yesterday, a group of residents visited the fantastic Siop Llangors Shop to see what volunteers have done there (see pictures below). There are now 50 volunteers working on a rota and three paid staff. We have identified Welsh Government funding which would pay for a community hub in Llangattock. LCC would not be allowed to apply for it, so a new community-led group would need to form with the right team to lead it. And Llangattock will only get the money if it can demonstrate that the community is prepared to back the project with time and fundraising.
We have had a great response to the Llangattock hub/shop/cafe survey. For logistical reasons, we are closing it at midnight this Thursday, August 29th. If you want to comment, please scan the QR code below on your phone or follow this link. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/hubshop
We want to know whether this idea would work, please take our survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/hubshop

It looks like a nice weekend ahead, so we would like to ask visitors to Llangattock Recreation Ground not to bring glass containers from any source into the park, please. This is to minimise the risk of injury to other park users, including children, if breakages occur. We are grateful to The Horseshoe Inn Llangattock for helping us highlight this risk.
We've been getting the displays ready. If you are at the summer fete at Llangattock Recreation Ground tomorrow, please come and talk to us about ideas for new walking and cycling routes. Powys County Council has been given the money to make this happen, so we need your views. County Councillor Jackie Charlton will be on hand to answer any questions.

Llangattock Community Council has adopted the Llangattock Community Plan and Report of Consultation 2024. This was created following a year of consultations with residents and relevant stakeholders. LCC is now working with Bannau Brycheiniog National Park to see how this can be actioned through the planning system by what is known as Statutory Planning Guidance or SPG. If you want to read the adopted plan, please click on this link.
If you go down to Llangattock park today you'll see that lots of repairs have been made to the play equipment. Much of this will need to be replaced in the next few years and we are saving towards this but these repairs will keep it going until then.
