Hello, if you are self isolating or need support, the Community Council is working with a number of volunteers from the community to support you through this difficult time. You may need your groceries collected, your prescriptions picked up or an errand run. Our volunteers can also give you a phone call for a chat and check you are ok. Whatever support you need we will strive to get it to you, or if you know someone who needs help.

HENDERSON HALL: LAUNCH OF STORYBOARD & ORAL HISTORY RECORDINGS 
 12th and13th December 2020

​
​​

In 2019, Henderson Hall, in celebration of its 50th Anniversary, received a grant from the National Lottery Heritage fund to create a record of the physical and social history of the Hall and its surrounds.
This record took the form of a Storyboard, now permanently sited at the Hall, which shows the Hall’s vibrant history as a much-valued community hub: the clubs, the activities, and the key events that have taken place over the years. 
The Storyboard is complemented by Oral History recordings which bring to life the memories, experiences and personal stories of 22 people who have supported and been involved with the Hall, enriching community life for others. 
The hope was to share the completed project in April 2020, but events that we are all too aware of, scuppered those plans. Despite the setback, the Hall committee took a window of opportunity in December to create an event which enabled the community to view the Storyboard, hear some of the Oral History interviews and give their feedback. This Celebratory weekend was a big success with over 120 adults and children attending. Feedback was very positive and it was a lovely way to bring the community together and share some Christmas cheer, despite the restrictions.
To see the project video and hear the Oral History recordings please use this link www.henderson-hall.com and click on the Storyboard tab. Leaflets replicating the Storyboard can also be found in Talybont Stores.
Special thanks to all those community members who shared photographs and stories and agreed to be interviewed, alongside those who gave their thoughts, ideas, time and energy throughout the year-long 50th anniversary celebrations. They proved the community spirit in this area is very much alive and kicking. Long may it continue!




 Planning and Development Control
The Community Council is consulted by the Brecon Beacons National Park
Authority on all planning applications within the Community Council area.

It is the responsibility of the Park Authority to alert neighbours and
locally publicise and receive responses to planning applications.
An on-line weekly list of applications is available here.

It is possible to view and comment upon applications ‘on-line’ direct to the
Park Authority and this is recommended by the Community Council.
