A massive thank you to the incredible Jacqueline Palmer, who dedicates an astonishing 30-40 hours every week volunteering to keep our streets clean! 💪👏

Today, Jacqueline was out in Plas Madoc, cleaning the hedge along the top end of Hampden Way and tackling litter in Dinas and Alwen. Her hard work resulted in six full bags of rubbish collected, plus the carcass of a fitted oven left by the litter bin at the Hampden Way bus stop! 🗑️♻️

Her dedication to making our community a cleaner and safer place is truly inspiring! If you’d like to get involved and make a difference, we’d love to have you on board.

To honour this special occasion, Cefn Community Council Chairman, Mr. Phil Vaughan, personally visited the couple to offer his heartfelt congratulations on behalf of the community. As a token of celebration, he presented them with a beautiful bouquet from Maypole Florist, a symbol of the strength and beauty of their six decades together.

A Tribute from Chairman Phil Vaughan

Reflecting on their incredible achievement, Chairman Vaughan shared his admiration:

“Sixty years of marriage is not just a milestone—it is a masterpiece. It is a testament to love’s ability to endure, to grow, and to inspire all of us. In a world that changes so quickly, Mr. & Mrs. Harrison stand as a shining example of devotion, proving that true love isn’t just a story in books—it’s real, and it flourishes right here in our community. It was an absolute privilege to celebrate them, and I wish them many more years of joy and togetherness.”

Cefn Community Council is pleased to share the North Wales Police and Crime Plan 2025-2028, which sets out the key priorities for policing in our region over the next three years.

The plan, developed by Andy Dunbobbin, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, is based on feedback from over 4,600 residents, as well as input from North Wales Police and key partners.

Key Priorities of the Plan:

✅ A stronger local neighbourhood policing presence
✅ Support for victims, communities, and businesses
✅ A fair and effective criminal justice system

The plan focuses on police visibility and tackling antisocial behaviour (ASB)—concerns that were highlighted as top priorities by communities across North Wales.

The Police and Crime Commissioner will now work closely with North Wales Police Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman to implement these priorities across the region.
