We start this month with police matters. Everyone will be aware of the concern expressed by
this Council relating to the speed of traffic through Crick amongst other places in our area.
Amazingly only TEN incidents have ever been reported to the police.
Drug abuse is becoming more of a problem with offenders coming into our area, often from Caldicot, to steal whatever they can. Please be vigilant. More money is being made available to the local force to help tackle the problem. The Caerwent Training Area will become busier and MoD police patrols will from now on be patrolling the general area. Whilst on military matters, don't forget to record incidents that you consider worthy of complaint regarding low flying aircraft - date and time is needed. Pass your observations on to us so that we can deal with the matter. Caerwent suffered another serious road accident at the east road junction. We are pressing for a site meeting to discuss what can be done to try to prevent accidents there. Hopefully we can report back to you soon. There has been no reply as yet to our request for a 20 m.p.h. restriction for the village of Caerwent. We will let you know when we hear. Those of you whose children use the play areas will need to be aware that a local play area has been damaged. Nails were driven into the underside of a bench and the points were protruding into the seat. Please keep an eye on our play areas and let us know of any damage. The Hill Fort at Llanmellin has been cleared of undergrowth so why not visit it, it's well worth the effort. Gwerin Housing has cleared the unsafe elm trees in Caerwent and have done an excellent job. If you are aware of any trees that appear unsafe please let us know. A reminder that our Remembrance Service will be held at the War Memorial in Caerwent at 10.45 a.m. on Sunday 11th November. If any organisation, or local person, would like to lay a wreath please get in touch with our Clerk (Laraine McKeon) on 01291 424802. If anyone wants to e-mail the Council on any matter the address is CaerwentCouncil@aol.com.
Phil Murphy A note of appreciation to the people of Caerwent... I would like to thank all of the local residents who obeyed the "Footpath Closed" signs that were put up on my land by Monmouthshire County Council and CADW during the recent foot and mouth crisis. |
