I thought it was to be held in St Pauls Church House in the event of inclement weather or was I mistaken?

[andyCYD]

That was the plan, but it got changed at the last minute.

Restoring the piers and walls are very high on a priority list, but none of the funding bodies seem interested in providing the money. Also, it is far from clear whether we can really restore them. They need to be knocked down and rebuilt. We could aim to try and recreate them as they are now, with the risk that they will never be the same. Or, we go for a new design.
Any ideas or advice about the technicalities or finding the money would be greatly received.
Thanks

Have you looked into getting a grant from WREN - you have to be within a certain distance of a quarry, so check that on the website.

An informal meeting is being held at Coffee V on Tuesday 8th July at 5:30 pm. The purpose is to get together and share ideas on how businesses and other groups in Craig y Don can work together to promote the area to the benefit of everyone.

This meeting has been prompted by Rhian from Coffee V and Sarah from Scent with Love Flowers. Feel free to talk to them directly about this.

If you have not seen it there is a Craig y Don website. It has information about the area and a business directory. With development it could be part of the way forward for Craig y Don. Take a look at www.craigydon.co.uk.

Whilst walking through Craig Y Don this morning, I noticed no less than 5 shops had closed down in the last month. Quite a blow for a village that usually has relatively few empty shops.

[andyCYD]

It is a worry that so many shops have closed. However, over the 8 years I have lived here I have observed quite a number of swings so that one day nearly all units are full and a few months later several are empty. Hopefully more businesses will move in soon. I think it is great that the current businesses are looking to work together to promote Craig y Don.

[Bri Roberts]

After once running a successful business in the village for ten years, I always felt it had tremendous potential especially with all the free car parking that exists.

However, I was always surprised how few (if any) town and county councillors I ever saw supporting the local businesses.

The disused part of the old HSBC building, next to CoffeeV, is to become a Fish & Chip shop.

A friend of the Forum tells me that the new chip shop is to be operated by the owners of the Orient Express Cafe.
