We are pleased to share that work has now started on creating a proper BMX track at Ty Mawr, giving children and young people in our community a dedicated space to ride, practise and enjoy outdoor activity.

This project has been developed based on feedback from local children, who told us they wanted somewhere suitable in the area for BMX riding.

The scheme is being funded by Active Wrexham and Cefn Community Council, with support and collaboration between Active Wrexham, Cefn Community Council and the Parks Team.

The works are being carried out by JB Extreme Landscapes, and we look forward to seeing the track take shape over the coming weeks.

This is a fantastic investment in local play, sport and outdoor recreation, helping to provide a safe and positive space for young people and families in Cefn and the surrounding area.

A big thank you to everyone involved in helping make this happen.

Cefn Community Council would like to give a very special thank you to Mr Lewis Gurran of Incredible Edible Wrexham, who kindly arrived at George Edwards Hall Community Garden last Wednesday with a fantastic selection of plants to help improve and develop the space.

Lewis brought along white strawberries, hops, chocolate mint, walnut, quince and many more wonderful additions, all of which will help enhance the garden alongside our wild garlic, which continues to thrive beautifully.

Andrew Ruscoe, Community Development Officer, commented:

“Lewis turned up kindly and unexpectedly, which was a very welcome surprise. He is such a talented and informative young man, and we fully recommend and appreciate him. What stood out most was that he did not just drop the plants off — he actually got his hands dirty and planted them in.”

This kind of community support makes a real difference, and it is fantastic to see people giving their time, knowledge and energy to help improve local spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you so much to Incredible Edible Wrexham — but most importantly, thank you Lewis.

You are a real credit to our community. 🌿

We kindly ask everyone to keep an eye out for any updates, as meeting dates or arrangements may occasionally change and any amendments will be communicated in due course.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in the work of Cefn Community Council.

This year’s tournament was truly one of the most exciting, competitive and closely fought competitions we have ever seen. Every school gave it their all, showing incredible determination, teamwork, passion and sportsmanship from start to finish.

A huge congratulations to Ysgol Pentre, who were crowned the Ken Bathers Memorial Trophy Winners.

A massive well done also to Ysgol Cefn Mawr, who finished as runners-up after a tremendous performance in what can only be described as the closest tournament we have ever witnessed.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the schools that took part this year. Your effort, attitude and enthusiasm made the day such a brilliant success, and you should all be very proud of yourselves.

A very special thank you also goes to our partners and everyone who helped make the day possible, especially Councillors Derek Wright and Gaynor Wright for representing the Council, our wonderful Clerk Trina Nicholls-Smith, our Community Agent Donna Thornley, our Community Development Officer Andrew Ruscoe, who refereed an incredible 16 matches, and Liam Jones from Active Wrexham.

Cefn East Councillor and Vice Chairman Derek Wright said:

“I have been involved in this competition for many years, and I can honestly say this was the closest tournament we have ever witnessed. The standard from every school was outstanding, and the determination, commitment and sportsmanship on show today made me incredibly proud. These young people gave everything for their schools, and every single one of them should hold their heads high. It was a brilliant advert for school football and for our community.”

Days like this show exactly what can be achieved when schools, partners and the community come together to support our young people.

Well done to everyone involved — you were all absolutely brilliant.
