A Village Plan for Radyr & Morganstown

The Community Council has decided to develop a Village Plan for Radyr and Morganstown. This will be done in partnership with the Radyr & Morganstown Association and our County Councillor. A steering group has been set up with members from the Community Council, the RMA and Cllr Marion Drake.

At the steering group’s first meeting Terms of Reference were agreed and first steps taken to consider the scope of the Plan. The Plan will show our many community strengths as well as our present and future concerns. This information will be used to plan future projects for local benefit. It is important to realise that not all the issues identified will be within the control of the Community Council or local organisations. Where control lies with other bodies, such as Cardiff Council, we would use the Plan to try to influence decisions taken by them.

Village Plans are already in place for many areas in England and some communities in Wales. We feel that such a plan would promote an even greater sense of community for Radyr & Morganstown and give us direction for planning for the future. The Plan would continue to evolve as our community changes and develops; it would not be a static document.

Over the next few months there will be opportunities for you to contribute your views to the Plan and, should you wish, to help put the Plan together. We will keep residents informed of progress via articles in the Radyr Chain and on this website. If you have expertise or experience in community consultation or would like to help with this please contact Helena Fox, Clerk to the Community Council on 20842213 or clerk@radyr.org.uk.
