@VOGCouncil Bags festering for 3 weeks containing materials that can’t be recycled ie pizza boxes, foil from roasting, ready meal or meat trays, poo bags etc etc. you’ll have maggot infested stinking bin bags. Oh I know, that’ll be the next thing you’ll be refusing to take those bags 🤦‍♀️🤯

Three-weekly refuse collections are coming to the Vale 📢 From 03 July, our refuse collections will move from… Two bags every two weeks 🗑️ 🗑️ to… Three bags every three weeks 🗑️ 🗑️ 🗑️ Take a look at our FAQ’s for more information 👇 valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/en/living/Recy…

@VOGCouncil Disgusting that this meeting was held over zoom so no public could attend. I’m assuming your going ahead in pricing us out from our allotments? 72% increase, is shameful, we have a cost of living crisis, mental health crisis and loneliness epidemic. You have lost the plot ☹️

Thank you for having your say in our Budget Consultation 23-24. Last night, the final budget was agreed at Full Council 💷 In line with the feedback we received, the approved proposals aim to protect support services for our most vulnerable residents 👇 valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/Council-agrees…

67% increase in allotment rents! Disgusting! We need allotments to be affordable to all. Shame on you Vale Council 😡

@VOGCouncil 67% proposed increase in allotment rent is disgusting! Allotments are growing food for our tables, helping to feed our families, also to help with our health and mental well-being. It’ll make allotments a privilege few will be able to afford! Shame on you!

Today we have published our 2023/24 budget proposals 📝 The proposals ensures that Vale residents will continue to pay less than the average cost of Council Tax in Wales 💷 We’ll be asking for your views to help shape the final proposals soon 📢 valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/en/our_council…

@CaroleTyley @thevalefood Hi - the recipe can be found on my Facebook page - Home cooking with Gigi. Hope you enjoy this cake as much as we did x

@thevalefood Can you share the recipe please?

Looks delicious! 🌟 Mae’n edrych yn flasus! 🌟

Cucumbers. The greenhouse is bursting with them, having such a glut I had to get creative to find another way to use them up, so I made cake and it’s blooming delicious. Cucumber and lemon cake - how’s that for inventive and waste not want not @HughFW @jamieoliver @thevalefood 🤣

@VOGCouncil You are really failing us. About time you got your act together. No more excuses.

@EnforcementVog @VOGCouncil @ContactOneVale @SWPValeofGlam @safer_vale @ReedEmmareed69 @CllrKing #VOG Shame your colleagues can’t be as quick with repairs - 18/02 storm caused damaged and we are still waiting for repairs! 3 times staff have failed to ring me back. I’ve made a formal complaint, not heard back from that either. But your happy to take the rent week on week.

Why #EatLocal this summer? By supporting local farms, producers & growers, we create a more sustainable local food scene. Food grown locally hasn’t travelled far, and will be as fresh & seasonal as possible. Good news for both people & the planet! 🌍 @ruralvale @cywain_mab

More of this!

@VOGCouncil You have failed to collect the green waste the last two collection dates!

Our garden waste collections are running a little behind this week due to the volume of waste. 🍃☀️ If your collection has been missed please leave garden waste out until the following day as crews will be returning to areas to catch up. Apologies for any inconvenience caused!
