Beacon finds a new home

The Jubilee Beacon was commissioned by the Community Council to mark the 70th Year of the reign of her late majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Rather than sit in storage, the Beacon has been sited on the Dr Price Heather Gardens, High Street, Llantrisant.

Originally lit atop the Billy Wynt at 9pm on the 2nd June 2022 it was one of around 3,500 beacons to burn that night throughout the UK and Commonwealth.

The floral displays are looking lovely this year.   Each of the baskets has an internal reservoir which gets filled with water twice a week by Community Council Staff.    The baskets are also fertilised fortnightly.

The planters are filled with perennial plants which are now in their third year and becoming more established.

Fifteen Minute Heritage Lottery Grant

Llantrisant Community Council has been successful in receiving funding for a #15 minutes Heritage Lottery Grant.  The aim of the grant funding was to make people aware of heritage within 15 minutes of where they live.

The Community Council had already worked with the Penrhys Pilgrimage Group planting bulbs at Llantrisant Castle and advising on the route as it passed through the Community Council area.  The Heritage Lottery Grant seemed the ideal opportunity to provide information boards to let local residents know a little bit of local history and also make them aware of the new Penrhys Pilgrimage Way which was completed in 2020.    The boards would also provide information for those walking the 21 mile walking route from Cardiff to Penrhys about the area they were currently walking through.

Partnership working between the Community Council, Rhondda Cynon Taff Bourough Council and representatives from the Penrhys Pilgrimage and Llantrisant Town Trust have resulted in two boards being designed.  One is sited on the Rhiwsaeson Road and one on the Llantrisant Common.
