COMMUNITY ADVICE SERVICE – 21 YEARS ON
The
Community Advice service funded by the Community Council, celebrates
its 21st year in providing free advice on benefit and debt related
matters to residents of Caia Park. There are trained advisors operating
17 drop in sessions per week currently at three venues (Cartrefle,
Cefn Road, Caia Park Centre, Prince Charles Road and St Peter’s
Hall, Smithfield Road). The sessions are spread over 5 days (Mon
– Fri and times vary)
During
financial year 2009/10 benefits obtained and debts written off on
behalf of clients amounted to £734,302
Due
to financial constraints it has become necessary to restrict this
service to residents of Caia Park. Some sessions may be cancelled
from time to time because of staff absence.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS
The
Community Council has funded fencing around the multi use games
area off Prince Charles Road. This work has now been completed.
It has also contributed £5000 to the recently competed children’s
play area on Bala Fields.
COMMUNITY
VENUES
In
additional to running St Peter’s Hall, Smithfield Road, the
Community Council also makes an annual contribution to Wrexham County
Borough Council towards the running costs at Kingsley Circle and
Pentre Gwyn Community Centres.
