Update & Connah's Quay Town Council AGM

This week has been just as busy. On Monday 12th, I attended the Friends of Wepre Park bi-monthly meeting. With my strong interest in conservation, I was pleased to receive a warm welcome and hear updates on the group’s fantastic work to improve our beloved Wepre Park.

Wednesday was the Town Council’s AGM, where I’m delighted to announce I was voted to represent the Connah’s Quay Old People’s Association. Alongside my partner, Cllr Vince Roberts of Central Ward, we volunteer there every Wednesday, and I’m excited to now support the group in an official capacity. I was also elected to the members’ panel, and with Vince honoured as Vice-Chair, I will serve as his official consort and very proud to support him in this role. Congratulations to all the new committee members on their appointments!

On Friday, I attended the Wepre Park Stakeholders meeting, which was another great opportunity to connect with new contacts and gain insight into how the various groups work together to support the park.

Lighting of the Beacon - VE Day

Vince and I were so proud to attend the ‘Lighting of the Beacon’ ceremony this evening at Dock Road, Connah’s Quay.

It was a moving and emotional commemoration — with heartfelt readings in both English and Welsh, speeches, a stirring hymn, and a poignant two-minute silence.

A huge thank you to all who organised such a respectful and meaningful evening, and to the many members of our community who came out to pay tribute together.

First Week Update

I was very pleased to attend my first Town Council meeting this week and received a really warm welcome. It’s been a busy start—I've already begun making introductions to local people and organisations, and I’ve started taking on casework too. Several residents have been in touch with enquiries; some have already been resolved, while others are ongoing but moving in the right direction. I’ve also repurposed my website and am in the process of bringing it up to date. There’s lots to do, but I’m enjoying every moment of it.
