Since 1996 Fairmeadow Fields and Cefn Bychan woodland have been kept as a conservation area. Unfortunately due to the vandalism and destruction by local children and scrambler /mountain bikes this has been a difficult task. The Community Council decided to undertake a study to find out what future use the residents around the fields and woodland wanted. Approximately 120 questionnaires where distributed to the surrounding area. 11% replied. The results are as follows:- The major concern for residents is the nuisance and destruction caused by youths on scrambler bikes. The majority of residents who replied want the fields and woodlands kept as a conservation area. The Community Council will now consider all the replies and take appropriate action.
