A small grant scheme application was submitted to Pontypridd Town Council in August 2020 by the Secretary (Mr A.J. House), which was successful, and a sum of £200 was awarded to
the Association on 4th December 2020. Prior to the award and following a successful grant application the previous year, a committee meeting was held in September where the Secretary wished to discuss how to use the monies if awarded. At this meeting, the committee decided:
• Torefurbishthemainaccessgate and top gate to our garden.
• Installation of a new notice board at the top gate entry.
• New signage at main gate to include our website.
• New signage at the top gate.
• New health and safety signage
following our in-house risk assessment by our designated Risk Assessment Officer.
I wish at this point to place a special mention for our
procure signage as local as possible, whilst fully aware of the budget of £200 plus 15%. All works were completed on Friday 11th December 2020.
