Park Improvements and Additions Get The
Go Ahead

We are delighted to announce that Flintshire County Council
have now given the green light to some fantastic additions to
Park Avenue Park and St Davids Park. Our main park will
receive a 25 metre zip wire and additional fencing to the MUGA
play area. St Davids park (off Blantern Road) will specifically
receive additional toddler play equipment and new surfacing.






Funding will come from the section 106 agreement secured
through David Wilson Homes and match funding provided by
Flintshire County Council Leisure Services. Works at the Park
Ave site are due start after the half term break. Work at the St
Davids park will commence in early 2015. Both parks to be shut
for a few days while contractors install the new facilities and
advance notice will be provided once the exact timings are
agreed. There is already a long list of children and adults
wanting to be the first to use new the zip wire..!!!.


A Bit of Rumour Quashing!!!!!..
Contrary to the rumours, Fintshire
County Council have not received an
application to develop the green field
off Kinnerton Lane for the purposes of
building a further housing estate. This
field (the one with the large pine
trees) is outside the settlement
boundary for Kinnerton as defined in
the Flintshire UDP and as such would
be inappropriate development.The
application would be unequivocally
opposed by the Community Council
and County Cllr. Phil Lightfoot .

Bonfire night and pets.
Its fair to say we are very much a pet loving village and unfortunately for
many pet owners bonfire night is something to dread rather than celebrate.
There is plenty of advice and tips on- line but here are some of the basics
For dogs and cats make sure they have a safe place to hide, dont try and coax
them out of the place they have chosen as this will stress them even more
Never punish or fuss over your pet when it's scared as this will only
make things worse in the long run For outdoor pets such as rabbits, partly
cover one area of their cage with an old blanket to add extra sound proofing
and add extra bedding so they have something to burrow in
DOG MESS BAG IT AND BIN IT!

Flintshire County Councils Street
Scene Services have confirmed dog
owners can dispose of bagged dog
mess in both the specialist dog bins
and ordinary litter bins located
