* Members of the Tidy Town Team do preparation work for Centenary Square last year.
Co-ordinator David Davies presents the 2018 annual report for Llangollen Tidy Town Team
48 full sacks of litter have been collected this year
(double that of 2017) with the main problems area continuing to be the road
into Llangollen from Trevor along by the “Hawthorn”.
Litter from along the Panorama, on
Dinas Bran castle hill and around the Wharf adds to our collection.
Work in Cemetery Woods continues but unfortunately much of
the yew hedge we transplanted there in the summer from around the Cenotaph area
has failed to take.
Young yews, as we acquire them, are being planted
along the precipice edge. A challenge
for 2019 is the removal of a couple of very tall Hemlock trees.
In partnership with DCC Countryside Services we tried our
hand at hedge laying this year along the main footpath leading from the Town up
to Dinas Bran Castle.
We are pleased that one of our members
subsequently participated in a hedge laying competition achieving a certificate
for second place.
We have repaired and repainted a few seats in Plas Newydd
and undertaken significant gardening and hedge cutting work around the
Llangollen Health Centre.
Our services continue to be provided at the Town Christmas
Festival day with our erecting stalls, traffic assistance during the Parade and
fireworks and end of day clear up.
Attendance at this event this year was
enhanced with the use of the new Town Square area.
A special thank you to the Team retiring from their
activities of the past seven years of daily collecting horse manure from along
the canal tow path and for the income generated
towards the cost of our activities.
Finally a big thank you to all Members of the Team for over
500 hours of voluntary work during the year and to our Supporters for their
continued encouragement.
