The King George V Playing Fields committee received the funding from Wales and West Housing Association. But while money is guaranteed for this specific project, the committee have launched an urgent cash plea to keep the park open after revealing that because they have been unable to hold fund-raising events they cannot cover expenses. These include general maintenance, cutting grass, hedges and removing litter, maintenance for the safety of the play equipment and insurances which amount to over £3,000 each year. “Under normal circumstances, the committee arrange various events, such as the annual fireworks display in Newcastle Emlyn - the money raised from these would usually cover the ongoing costs,” said the spokesperson.
TWO multi-million pound care facilities are set to open in Flintshire in the near future. Almost £9m has been invested into a 32-bed extension at Marleyfield House care home in Buckley to boost the number of residential places Flintshire Council has available. The expansion will also provide additional beds to be used by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for patients who are ready to be discharged from hospital but are unable to return home yet. Work on the project is expected to be completed in May, with new residents set to move into the facility in June. Meanwhile, Flintshire’s fourth extra care scheme in Holywell is due to open imminently.
