Rhoscolyn Community Council

The main purpose/duty of the Council is to look after the well being of the people of
Rhoscolyn and Four Mile Bridge and to convey to the appropriate authority anything that needs attention in the parish. And this goes for anyone who pays Council Tax, as it is from this that the Community Council is funded.

Welsh is the language proceedings are conducted in. There is a website – http://ccrhoscolyn.org.uk – which carries agendas and minutes of meetings in Welsh and English.  

On the website you will also find contact details for Barry Thomas, chair, (Eirlys) Mai Owen, the  council’s clerk and a list of councillors. Our local Rhoscolyn councillor is Susan Hanbury, who many of you will know – she is also a church warden for St Gwenfaen’s church. So if you do have a question or complaint to raise either she or Mai (as she prefers to be know) will look into it for you – as indeed will any of the other Councillors listed if you know them better.

I understand that anyone in the community can attend the meetings which take place every six weeks.  Dates are posted on the website and, I believe, on the notice board in Four Mile Bridge.  

But be aware, as noted above the proceedings are conducted in Welsh so if you do not speak the language, best not to go!  However, if you do put an enquiry in in English, this is the language in which it will be replied.

The nearest post office is in Trearddur Bay, but check its opening hours because they are more limited that the PO in Valley which is open all day on weekdays and on Saturday mornings.  The nearest general Post Office is in Holyhead, in a shop called The Chocolate Box!
