Penyrheol, Trecenydd and Energlyn Community Council has not arranged any events due to budget constraints and lack of interest among residents.

Town Clerk Helen Treherne said: “The community council hasn’t arranged an event to celebrate the King’s Coronation, as it organises other events throughout the year, such as the playscheme, Christmas events for the younger and older generation etc.

“We don’t have the funding to arrange many events unfortunately.”

She added: “Councillors were also aware of street parties etc being held for the occasion. In addition, the councillors did not receive any requests/queries from its residents about this.”

Rhymney Community Council is prioritising a defibrillator project over coronation events due to budget constraints.

The council’s clerk, Geraint Williams, said the council erected buntings for the Queen’s Jubilee last year, which was funded by grant support through the wind turbine project at Bryn Bach Park.

He said: “The council has a limited income and has prioritised its expenditure for 2023/24 in line with the potential for greatest impact.

“The council can only bid once per period into that scheme and has already requested support for a defibrillator project, hence its inability to reapply for further monies.”
