A rather sad event this afternoon as I went to Craig Cefn Parc to open a memory garden built to commemorate the local school, which is closing for good this week. The garden has been built by local residents using funds raised to try and save the school and volunteer labour.
I cut the ribbon and then we were entertained by the local village choir, Village Voices, combined with Gendros Community Choir, The local councillor also addressed the villagers who had gathered for the opening.
The location of the garden is stunning, looking out across the open countryside. Hopefully it will be put to good use by the whole community in remembering the school that used to be at the centre of their village.
