 A life-saving device In its meeting on 23 January the Community Council agreed to award a grant of £526.80 to the Bryn Deri Primary School PTA, towards the cost of a cabinet to safely store the new defibrillator to be located at the school.
Commenting on the grant award, council Chair, Huw Onllwyn Jones, said: 'I am very proud to announce that we, as a council, have been able to support the installation of this new defibrillator. These machines can save lives - and it's great to know that we now have a number of them installed across Radyr and Morganstown - including, of course, the ones located at Radyr Medical Centre and at the optician's shop on Station Road'. St John Wales offers defibrillator training for anyone wanting to know how to use the devices - and possible save a life. You can find out more here. A defibrillators is an electronic device that applies an electric shock to restore the rhythm of a fibrillating heart. In atrial fibrillation, the heart rate is irregular and can sometimes be very fast. In some cases, it can be considerably higher than 100 beats a minute.

 Owzat? In its meeting on 23 January the Community Council agreed to award a grant of £498 to Radyr Golf Club, to help pay for some 'Tri-Golf' teaching equipment (such as nets, clubs and targets) to help ensure that younger children can have a taste of the sport - and hopefully become fully fledged players in future. In addition, a grant of £1,000 was awarded to Radyr Cricket Club to help with the costs of indoor junior winter nets for their players aged between 8 and 14. We also awarded a grant of £440 towards the costs of Bryn Deri and Radyr Primary Schools Orchestra and Choir. Commenting on the grant awards, council Chair, Huw Onllwyn Jones, said: 'It is great that we can support these two, excellent clubs, as they seek to provide our young people with training to learn and improve golfing and cricketing skills. I'm also very happy that we have been able to support the Bryn Deri and Radyr Primary Schools Orchestra and Choir. Maybe the Ben Stokes' and Virginia Wades of the future will start their paths to glory thanks to their time with our fantastic cricket and golf clubs! Not forgetting, of course, the next Pavarotti...!  A hole in one?  It's music to our ears!  What sort of school would you like to see? We have received the following bilingual message from the School Organisation Planning team at Cardiff Council. Please note the opportunity for you to respond to the consultation - and the drop-in sessions to be held during September and October:
21st Century Schools As part of the planning agreement for the construction of the Plasdŵr development, a new primary school is being provided by the site developer to serve this first phase of the development, the wider area and some future housing developments that have also been planned. The new school at Plasdŵr is proposed to be a two form entry primary school, with two language streams, organised as: · One form of entry Welsh-medium (30 places per year group) · One form of entry predominantly English-medium, with significant use of Welsh (30 places per year group) This means that there would be 420 primary school places in total. There will also be 48 part-time nursery places for the Welsh-medium stream and 48 part-time nursery places for the English-medium stream. The proposed changes would take effect from September 2021. A public consultation on the proposed new school is taking place from 9 September – 28 October 2019. The Council is keen that as many people as possible are aware of the consultation. We would like people to be informed on how to find out more about what is being proposed and how to express their views on it. How can you find out more and let us know your views?

This is certainly brightening up our community! This piece - and the others we showed you recently - were done as part of a Creative Collaboration project with the artist known as Unity (you can see more of her work on her millimagic website). The project was funded with an Arts Council Wales grant. Unity has also coordinated artwork at Tongwynlais Primary School - and a new piece will be painted soon, near Radyr station. Do you know of any more dark corners that could benefit from some community art treatment? Let us know in the comments box, below!  A splash of colour at the Mound Field!  The door to Wonderland If you've driven (slowly) along Heol Isaf, or walked down the lane between Woodfield Avenue and Taff Terrace - then you will know that some talented pupils from Radyr Comprehensive School have been busy decorating some walls with some colourful artwork. On Heol Isaf (at no 76, to be precise) a field of poppies has appeared - and on the lane, there is now a trompe l'oeil, tempting you on a trip into Wonderland. These pieces of community art certainly brighten up the neighbourhood - and are testament to the talent of the young artists who painted them (with 'Sophie' and 'Amber' to thank for the Wonderland contribution). What do you think? Do you like them? Would you like to see more community art? If so, where? Let us know by commenting below. What is community art? Find out here.  The lane between Woodfield Avenue and Taff Terrace - now brighter and more colourful!  Poppies on Heol Isaf!  Local gardening expert Jim Goodwin planting the new tree with Radyr Primary School pupils. Radyr Primary School pupils have been busy planting a new Liquidambar tree at Windsor Gardens to replace one that was vandalised over the Christmas holiday by someone who clearly lacked respect for our community. The tree had been planted to commemorate work done on behalf of the community by three, long serving community councillors, following their retirement from the council. The damaged tree was replaced with a larger, more mature tree, with a tree guard installed to protect it. The picture shows local resident and gardening expert, Jim Goodwin, leading the work of planting the tree. The spade was used by the children to pack soil around the roots - in the hope that the new tree will grow to a good size - and give pleasure to those who visit the park for many years to come. Also in the picture are some of the school's teachers along with the then council chair, Ralph Vaughan and Cllr Rod McKerlich. 'It was great to see the children taking time out from school to help plant this beautful tree' said Cllr Vaughan. 'They will be able to watch it grow - and enjoy the amazing show of colour that the Liquidambar tree will provide.' The second photograph shows how the tree could look as it matures.  A mature Liquidambar tree Radyr and Morganstown Community Council has presented a collection of books about World War One to the schools attended by Radyr and Morganstown schoolchildren, to mark the centenary of the end of the war. Pictured receiving their books are John Hayes, headmaster at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr, along with the school’s head of history, Mrs Anna Foster Evans, and Jayden, one of the pupils who will benefit from having access to the books. ‘We were delighted to receive these amazing books’ said John Hayes ‘They will make a very valuable addition to the school’s library – and we are very grateful to Radyr and Morganstown Community Council for providing us with this kind gift’. ‘It is very important for our young people to learn about the first world war – and its impact on our communities and life across Wales’ added Mrs Evans, ‘These books will help us ensure that this terrible episode in our history is bought vividly to life in our history classes’. Commenting on the gift, the council’s vice chair, Dr Huw Onllwyn Jones, said ‘We thought it was important to include our schools in the council’s work to remember this hugely significant part of our history – and we were very pleased to be able to offer these books to help with our childrens’ education’. 30 January 2019  Mrs Anna Foster Evans with Jayden and Mr John Hayes |
