July 2019
The month started with some disappointing news that the Ash die-back fungal disease has reached the park. City and County of Swansea are attending to a large number of affected trees in the county to remove trees with signs of infection to improve the park for other trees and users. The Council will be working in the park with machinery to remove this.
Fundraising Continues
Paint was delivered by City and County of Swansea and a special THANK YOU to Pontarddulais Fire Service who really came to the rescue and volunteered to get our play equipment cleaned for painting!
The Pontarddulais Fire Service have a fire cadets night for 12 to 18 years contact the Pontarddulais Fire Station.
In addition to our other volunteers and those from the Fire Service, we are also grateful for the work that our Duke of Edinburgh students do in the park. They were also able to join us for the clean up. Thank you Dylan and Tom.
