MESSAGE FROM TALYBONT-ON-USK COMMUNITY COUNCIL
CORONAVIRUS OCTOBER 2020 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. Please contact Keren Bender the Clerk to the Community Council she will ensure one of our volunteers gets in touch with you.

![]() STORYBOARD CONSULTATION EVENT AT HENDERSON HALL There was a very good turn out for the Storyboard Community Consultation at the hall, with lots of interest and feedback on the design. The final version will be revealed, along with the Oral History project, on Sunday 19th April at a Community Celebration. Don’t forget to save the date! PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN BY SCOTT GOODSELL. 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. Follow this link |
