Annual Report, 2025–6
Presented to council 14 May 2026
Since the 2025 AGM there have been ten meetings, with good attendance from the councillors. The Chair during the 2025–6 period was Cllr Mark Davies and Cllr Heulwen Hulme was Vice-Chair.
Mary Oldham continued as internal auditor and has recently completed the 2025–26 audit. Morgan Griffiths of Newtown has continued as payroll administrator and Jeff Pughe has continued as groundsman.
The reserve bank account has been continually monitored and funds transferred to it when necessary, from the current account, earmarked for playground improvements. This provision was used in 2025 to provide an excellent new piece of equipment. The councillors are very grateful that Tregynon Wind Farm Trust, Dwyriw Community Trust Fund and the parochial charities also contributed. An order has been placed recently for a replacement roundabout, and Powys County Council kindly gave a grant from their locality fund towards this. After local concern about the lack of display space, the councillors purchased white boards for the interior walls of the bus shelter. These have now been put up and look very good. A resident has offered to maintain the displays. The disabled parking signs in front of the community centre have been repainted thanks to Cllr Hulme and a young assistant. Potholes and speeding continue to be of great concern.
Councillor Sian Cox from the county council has been liaising with Tregynon Community Council regarding the Sustainable Powys scheme involving closer relationships and collaboration between councils. Councillor Cox attended the November 2025 Tregynon meeting.
After taking over responsibility for the Remembrance Day commemoration, the councillors organised the November 2025 event, and it went very well. Cllr Bumford read out the names of the fallen and laid the wreath at the cenotaph.
Rachael Jones, clerk to Tregynon Community Council
