Llanasa Life Issue 5 — Winter 2025: Community News, Projects, and Togetherness in Llanasa
Key takeaways
- Community fundraising and engagement have been central this year. The Llanasa Conservation Society raised over £1,500 through three car boot sales, organized three village tidy-ups, and continues to sponsor the Carol Service reception. The Society is actively seeking volunteers to fill the roles of Treasurer and Secretary, with contact details available for those interested in getting involved (llanasaconservation@gmail.com).
- Local developments highlight ongoing efforts to revitalize village spaces. The Red Lion pub project is progressing, with the licensee actively pushing for reopening despite planning department challenges over a design condition related to a bi-fold door. A December 14 meeting in the Village Hall will provide updates and a chance for residents to share input, underscoring the importance of community backing in planning decisions. The Village Hall has also advanced its green agenda: a near £20,000 grant from Gwynt y Môr funded a new boiler and secondary glazing, while a National Lottery grant covered manifold repairs after a leak. Welsh-English signage has been introduced, and two new trustees have joined the team (contact details: mattdaff31@sky.com for involvement).
- Active community programs and celebrations continue to shape village life. The Village Hall hosted fundraising events and is preparing for festive activities, including Carol Singing and a New Year’s Eve Party, with proceeds supporting future improvements. The Llanasa Walking Group meets monthly for sociable 5–6 mile walks, and Llanasa WI has a busy schedule featuring social, cultural, and educational activities, with plans expanding into 2026. People are encouraged to engage via the WI’s contact (llanasawi@outlook.com) and through village social channels or the Hall’s pages.
