Caerleon Common

[mrssleepy]

Why isnt the common used more for local crafts, mini french markets or community fun days/evenings. It just seems to be such a big waste of such a lovely part of Caerleon. We have the fair, why not have more activities and events happening in our lovely village, even if its just to get local people together. Any thoughts anyone?

I agree, but quite frankly I wish we didn't have the fair.


Does the fair bring anything other than nuisance to the village?

I totally agree with you, the fair isnt what it should be, 'a family fun day out'. It does attract unwanted problems!!! I think as a 'COMMON' ground, which means its a patch of ground that anyone can used, it could have more use in a possitive way.

I've not been to the fair myself but I would hate to see it go as I think its a big attraction for the kids and there is little enough for them. The small percentage of 'undesirables' should not be allowed to become the cause for the facility being taken off the majority of decent people enjoying it. Let the Police take care of the trouble-makers.

I agree that the common should be in more frequent use than this one, annual event. However, Caerleon is a dormitory for people that work far and wide and want access to the M4 two miles away. Its not a community, and there are few enough groups in the 'village' to be able to organise any enterprise to put the common to good communal use.
