Great to acknowledge the talents of these young ladies from our wards.

👏Congratulations to Faith and Amber Bridges, who have both signed for Cardiff City Under 13s Girls!

Both players are heading into their fourth season representing Caerphilly and District Schools, with Faith also taking on the role of captain for the upcoming season.

⚽Well done to you both and best of luck for the season ahead!

👏Llongyfarchiadau i Faith ac Amber Bridges, sydd wedi llofnodi cytundebau gyda thîm pêl-droed merched dan 13 oed Dinas Caerdydd!

Mae'r merched yn dechrau eu pedwerydd tymor yn cynrychioli Ysgolion Caerffili a’r Cylch, ac mae Faith hefyd yn ymgymryd â rôl y capten ar gyfer y tymor sydd i ddod.

⚽Da iawn i'r ddwy ohonoch chi a phob lwc ar gyfer y tymor sydd i ddod!

🚨 Cuppa with a Copper & Councillor ☕👮‍♀️

Good to catch up with PCSO Ellie at today’s drop-in surgery.

We also spoke with a resident who came along to raise concerns about speeding on the A468 between Lower Graig-y-Rhacca and Machen.

Many thanks to Machen Rugby Club for once again providing the venue and refreshments💙

After quite a few fallen trees and branches on the cycle track we asked for a full inspection. This has now been done and a work programme instigated.
