voluntary organisations, training providers, small

businesses and local government agencies and there

were plenty of activities to get the children involved,

including animation workshops, storytelling and

craft activities. This was the last ever event at the

centre, which has stood for 48 years and has been

well used by the community and Councillor Scott

Jones remembered previous events, as well as

welcoming the new centre in his speech. He then

presented the centre caretaker of over 25 years,

Irona Rees with a bouquet of flowers as a thank you

from the Community Development team.

Croeserw Primary School Visit

Andrew Scott Ltd invited pupils from Croeserw

Primary School along with their Head Teacher, Mr

Alan Clifford, to join them for a sneak preview of

the nearly completed Croeserw Community Centre.

Under the watchful eye of 'Ivor Goodsite' (Industry

Mascot of the Considerate Construction Scheme),

Andrew Scott Ltd Project Manager Jamie Costain

gave the pupils a guided tour of the new

Community Centre along with the excellent external

playing area that has been incorporated within the

project. The children were very excited at the

prospect of using the facilities and were quite taken

by Ivor the mascot.

During the tour, Jamie took time out to explain to

the young children about the dangers of playing

near construction sites, making them aware of the

everyday hazards that they may come across and

the need to play safe over the school holidays.

busnesau bach ac asiantaethau llywodraeth leol ac

roedd digon o weithgareddau i gynnwys plant, gan

gynnwys gweithdai animeiddio, adrodd straeon a

gweithgareddau crefft. Dyma oedd y digwyddiad

olaf yn y ganolfan, sydd wedi bodoli ers 48 mlynedd

ac sydd wedi cael ei defnyddio cryn dipyn gan y

gymuned. Cofiodd y Cynghorydd Scott Jones am

ddigwyddiadau o'r gorffennol, yn ogystal â

chroesawu'r ganolfan newydd yn ei araith. Yna

cyflwynodd tusw o flodau i ofalwr y ganolfan ers 25

mlynedd, Irona Rees, fel diolch oddi wrth y Tîm

Gwahoddodd Andrew Scott Cyf ddisgyblion o Ysgol

Gynradd Croeserw gyda'u Pennaeth, Mr Alan

Clifford, i ymuno â nhw i gael cipolwg ar Ganolfan

Gymunedol Croeserw sydd bron wedi'i chwblhau.

O dan lygad barcud 'Ivor Goodsite' (Masgot

Diwydiant y Cynllun Adeiladu Ystyriol), rhoddodd

Jamie Costain, Rheolwr Prosiect Andrew Scott Cyf

daith dywys i'r disgyblion o amgylch y Ganolfan

Gymunedol yn ogystal â'r lle chwarae awyr agored

sy'n rhan o'r prosiect. Roedd y plant yn gyffrous

iawn am y syniad o ddefnyddio'r cyfleusterau ac yn

hoff iawn o Ivor y Masgot.

Yn ystod y daith, esboniodd Jamie i'r disgyblion

ifanc am beryglon chwarae ger safleoedd adeiladu,

a'u gwneud yn ymwybodol o beryglon pob dydd y

gallant ddod ar eu traws, yn ogystal â'r angen i

chwarae'n ddiogel dros wyliau'r ysgol.
