DCA Campaigns For Speed Indicators |
|
|
|
|
At a recent committee meeting it was decided that the DCA should ask the Council's Highways Department to install 2 speed indicator signs, similar to the one near the scout hall in Radyr, located either side of the school on Danescourt Way.
Our request will offer £500 towards the cost of these signs as a way of the DCA communicating it's support for speed eduction.
Also as suggested at the last PACT meeting the school could, with the support of the PCSO, get the children to carry out a speed exercise a part of the curriculum, and they could write to us with their findings. The school could also be approached to carry out a competition to draw a slow sign. The prize being to have their drawing made into a road sign attached to the new speed sign posts. This would generate good publicity for the school, the speeding problem and a proactive DCA.
If you have any comments on this, or any other matter concerning Danescourt, then please get in touch |

Heritage Lottery Fund Success
We’re delighted to announce that the Insole Court Trust has been successful with its first round bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
A first round pass and development grant of £165,900 is now available to enable the Insole Court Trust to prepare further plans for the round two bid for £1.9m.
A first-round pass means the project meets Heritage Lottery Fund criteria for funding and is an endorsement of outline proposals. Having been awarded a first-round pass, the Trust now have up to two years to submit fully developed proposals to compete for a firm award.
How we got here
– In February 2011 the Friends of Insole Court were offered the opportunity to take on the management of Insole Court, a Victorian mansion in Llandaff, Cardiff, through a Community Asset Transfer. The Insole Court Trust was formed and was successful in the first stage of the CAT. This enabled the Trust and Cardiff Council to prepare for the transfer with the help of Niall Phillips, architect from Purcell Miller Tritton, and David Clarke of DCA Consultants.
The Trustees have been working hard, holding fortnightly meetings to devise a future for Insole Court that will maintain community facilities and heritage interpretation, whilst also providing business and employment opportunities.
The plans for the Renewal of Insole Court will be available to view in the house in early January 2012 – see the website for more information. |
