ARTISTIC residents are turning their care home grounds into a sea of yellow in a show of love for the thousands of people in Wales who have died with Covid-19. Large bright yellow hearts are adorning the entrances to Pendine Park’s two sites in Wrexham to mark the first anniversary of Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing the United Kingdom would be entering lockdown. They will each act as a poignant reminder of the events of the past year and an expression of love to all affected by coronavirus, with Pendine Park having accepted an invitation to take part in the Light up Wales to Remember event on Tuesday (March 23). In a nod to the classic old song Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree, a colourful series of yellow ribbons will adorn the trees in Pendine Park’s grounds for the anniversary.

The club is launching its All-Stars and Dynamos age groups for five to 11-year-olds this summer thanks to £1,000 sponsorship from Swayne Johnson who have an office in the High Street and five more across North Wales. We have great facilities here at the club and we’re very grateful to Swayne Johnson for helping us to launch this exciting project to encourage youngsters to start playing. But Swayne Johnson’s commitment to the village extends further than that and as well as providing specialist legal services across a wide range of areas of law, we pride ourselves on being active and supportive within the community through sponsorships, donations, fundraising and attending local events which will certainly include cricket matches. All-Stars and Dynamos cricket is supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board and Tattenhall plan to launch the series of weekly sessions on May 17 after holding Taster events at their ground at The Flacca on Mondays, April 26 and May 10.

A police boss has hit out at Government plans to introduce new powers to crack down on protests describing them as a “ full frontal assault on human rights”. North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones is against creating new powers to control the length of demonstrations, impose maximum noise levels and prosecute protestors for causing “serious annoyance”. The draft section on “public order” states that conditions can be imposed on demonstrations if the noise generated “may result in serious disruption to the activities of an organisation” or may “have a relevant impact on persons in the vicinity of the protest. The legislation creates a new public nuisance law that would make causing “serious annoyance or inconvenience” a crime punishable by up to 10 years’ imprisonment.
