A lovely Rememberance Service was held at the Gronant Institute yesterday for friends of the village.
Thankyou to all that attended and to St. Winifreds Church for conducting the Service of Remembrance and wreath laying.
The Gronant Institute will be open today from 10.30 should anyone wish to pay there respects.

As most people who live in the area are aware a stretch of the Institute boundary wall collapsed into Llanasa Road around 5 am on Sunday 29th of September.

The area is cordoned off and a road closure in place diverting traffic through the estate. This will be in-place for some time.

Everyone except the residents of Llanasa Road inside the roadblock must now use this new route. Failure to do so will result a full physical block of the road.

It is important also to explain why the debris has not yet been removed.

Several site visits have been undertaken when all the engineers agree that the removal of the debris from the road could destabilise the bank further. The wet forecast continues, and should the bank continue to shed material it would now rest on top of the existing soft soil debris, which is the safest course of action.

Scottish Power are working in partnership with the owners of the Institute, the Wallace-Jones family, to resolve this matter as soon as possible, it is the complexity of the issues which is delaying progress.

The repair to the wall also must include the replacement of the Scottish Power electric pole which currently desecrates the War Memorial. This should never have been allowed by the Trustees.

This now requires careful engineering and the power to be cut off to relevant properties. Contact is ongoing with these individuals before any work commences.

There is a lot currently being undertaken to find a solution to the problem. However, all parties are determined to resolve this as soon as possible. Please be patient.

Our thank to everyone who have been disrupted by this landslide the residents on Llanasa Road who have kindly agreed to park off road to reduce congestion.

In relation to the War Memorial, this area is also coned off from the Institute Carpark. It is doubtful it will be reopened for the Armistice laying of wreaths in November.

However, it is proposed the service will still take place but inside the main hall of the Institute where a temporary memorial will be placed on the front of the stage to allow wreaths to be laid.

In the meantime, it is business as usual at the Institute.
