It's been another busy week, and although we're still in the depths of the cold winter months, I wanted to share some of the great things that have been happening across the Vale to add some warmth to your week!
This week sees the launch of the Council's 'Do your Part, be RIPA smart' campaign and the RIPA staffnet+ hub.
Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS) are hosting their Big Volunteering Fayre on 29 January 2025.
Firstly this week, I wanted to update you on the latest stage of our budget-setting process after proposals were agreed at a meeting of the Council's Cabinet yesterday (Thursday).
Following my message with the Leader earlier this week, I wanted to again welcome back those who recently returned following a Christmas break. I'd also like to again mention those of you who worked over the festive period, delivering vital frontline services to our residents and communities – thank you all for your dedication and commitment. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
The new Planning Register Portal will go live at 5pm on Wednesday, 8 January 2025, replacing the current system.
As this is the first day back since Christmas for many, we wanted to take this opportunity to wish all staff a very happy New Year.
