(A non-profit distributing organisation)
Hello to all our supporters – young, not so young, present and future!
Events held at the Village Hall this year included the Spring Quiz in March, Race Night in April, Music & Dance Night in May, Autumn Quiz in September and soon Halloween Disco Night on 28th October. Also, the Annual Boule competition took place at the Ty'r Winch Road Playing Field in June.
Our events at the Village Hall include a bar (club prices) and, included in the price of a ticket, a supper organised by our Members. Our future events are posted on the Old St Mellons Community Council’s website and also on the noticeboards located around the village.
We are always on the look out for new Members so please make contact, details below. Membership of the Village Association is open to all who are interested in helping to provide both sporting and social activities and community amenities for Old St Mellons. It is non-profit-making and all members join in a voluntary capacity. It returns funds raised in the community to the community and has been doing so since 1974. Recently, funding for two table tennis tables was awarded to the Table Tennis Club.

Cardiff Hubs and Libraries runs a home delivery service that brings the library to the doorstep for residents who are incapacitated and can no longer travel to their local library independently, or carry books home.
This service is available to anyone with the following conditions:
- illness,
- infirmity,
- disability,
- post-operative recovery, or
- long-term isolation.
Home visits are scheduled on a 3 week basis to deliver and collect ordinary or large print books, and audiobooks. Residents are initially contacted to discuss their needs and reading tastes and after that they either give the driver a preferred list of books, or the books are chosen by experienced and knowledgeable library staff.
Books can also be reserved online for delivery as soon as they become available.
This service is entirely free, covers the whole of Cardiff and contributes towards the Council’s Plan for wellbeing with the particular aim of supporting older people/carers and preventing loneliness.
Please are you able to raise the awareness of this service within your Communities by distributing the attached Welsh and English posters in buildings managed by the Community Council and/or including the information in any appropriate communications issued to residents through social media, webpages, newsletters etc?
Any actions/activities that you can undertake to promote this service within your remit of a Community Council would be very much appreciated and will hopefully bring benefit to the residents you represent.
If you require further information regarding this service, please contact our home delivery service on 029 2087 1333 or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
How much would you pay for policing?
Precept survey launched giving residents the chance to ‘have their say’.
Did you know the Police & Crime Commissioner is responsible for setting the South Wales Police budget and deciding what further funds need to be raised from the additional charge on council tax?
This is called the police ‘precept’ and accounts for nearly one half of South Wales Police’s funding, with the rest coming from the Government. In setting the precept, the Commissioner consults with the local electorate through the ‘Our Police, Community’ survey which was launched earlier this month.
Responses to the survey will help the Commissioner decide what the public will pay for policing through their council tax in 2024/25.
Residents living in a Band D Property in South Wales currently pay £27.04 per month for policing, but over sixty per cent of residents in South Wales are below Band D and pay less and may also receive council tax discounts or benefits. Residents in South Wales currently pay the Welsh average for policing, which is significantly less than the cost of policing in North Wales.
If you would like to request a paper copy, you can contact us either by email, phone or post.

Faint fyddech chi'n ei dalu am blismona?
Lansiwyd arolwg praesept sy'n rhoi cyfle i drigolion 'ddweud eu dweud'
Oeddech chi'n gwybod mai'r Comisiynydd sy'n gyfrifol am bennu cyllideb Heddlu De Cymru a phenderfynu pa arian ychwanegol sydd angen ei godi o'r tâl ychwanegol ar y dreth gyngor?
Gelwir hyn yn 'praesept' yr heddlu ac mae'n cyfrif am bron i hanner cyllid Heddlu De Cymru, gyda'r gweddill yn dod o'r Llywodraeth. Wrth osod y praesept, mae'r Comisiynydd yn ymgynghori â'r etholwyr lleol drwy'r arolwg 'Ein Heddlu, y Gymuned' a lansiwyd yn gynharach y mis hwn.
Bydd ymatebion i'r arolwg yn helpu'r Comisiynydd i benderfynu beth fydd y cyhoedd yn ei dalu am blismona drwy eu treth gyngor yn 2024/25.
Mae preswylwyr sy'n byw mewn Eiddo Band D yn Ne Cymru yn talu £27.04 y mis am wasanaethau plismona ar hyn o bryd, ond mae mwy na 60% o breswylwyr De Cymru yn byw mewn band eiddo sy'n is na Band D ac yn talu llai, ac mae'n bosibl eu bod yn cael disgowntiau neu fudd-daliadau treth gyngor hefyd. Yn Ne Cymru, mae preswylwyr yn talu'r gyfradd gyfartalog yng Nghymru am wasanaethau plismona ar hyn o bryd, sy'n is o lawer na chost plismona yng Ngogledd Cymru.
Cliciwch yma i ddweud eich dweud
Os hoffech ofyn am gopi papur, gallwch gysylltu â ni naill ai drwy e-bost, ffôn neu drwy'r post.

As Halloween and Bonfire Night approach, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS) is preparing for a busy time, aiming to make South Wales safer by reducing risk during this hazardous period.
Between October and November 2022, SWFRS saw the number of incidents they were called to attend due to fireworks doubled from the previous year. The risks around bonfires and fireworks are well known, and the Service promotes its key messages around safety and wellbeing every year in partnership with South Wales Police and Gwent Police. This year, the prevailing message is to “stay alert, don’t get hurt” during the Halloween and firework season.
Arson Reduction Team Manager at SWFRS, Mike Hill, said:
“Every year, we attend incidents where members of the public are injured by fireworks and bonfires. We ask everyone, where possible, to attend organised displays that have safety measures in place.”
Organised displays
Firefighters and local authorities are holding organised firework displays for 2023, to make sure you can enjoy firework night safely.
Here are a few of the organised displays SWFRS are supporting this year: Please follow this link

CORONATION OF KING CHARLES III
The Coronation Tea Party was a huge success! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves:
"Just a quick message to say thank you so much to everyone that organised the coronation party on Monday. My daughter absolutely loved it. It was a fantastic afternoon."
"Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon, we all had a great time. The children really enjoyed it all"
****************************************
Most residents of Old St Mellons will have never experienced living at the time of the Coronation of a monarch. Only a very few of us will have some memory of the Coronation of our late Queen Elizabeth II, since it’s 70 years since the last Coronation celebration. We will have the privilege of witnessing the Coronations of King Charles and Queen Camilla on Saturday 6th May 2023.
To celebrate this event, your Community Council will host an afternoon tea for children and families of Old St Mellons in the Village Hall, Newport Road. Each child attending will be given a commemorative Coronation mug. The afternoon tea will be held on Monday 8th May at 3pm until 5pm. There will be a Fancy Dress competition and a Children's Entertainer.
If you would like your child to take part in this event and receive a Commemorative mug, please complete the form attached and post it to the Clerk to Old St Mellons Community Council, the Village Hall, Newport Road, Old St Mellons. There is a mail box at the gates to the Village Hall. If you would prefer, you can email the Clerk at;

As numbers of attendees at the Village Hall are limited, it is important to let us know numbers as soon as possible.
