WORKING PARTY ON THE PARK A good turn out for a Working Party on Llanferres Park on Saturday - April 27 shifted 40cu metres of bark in less than 2 hours and tidied up the Park! The Playing Field Committee are grateful to all who turned up and brought the Park up to scratch. April is a much loved cat, but sadly has to be re-homed due to her owners relocating to rented accommodation where no cats are allowed. She is timid and frightened of other cats, but loves humans and is terribly affectionate to them. She could be a house cat if required. She is micro chipped, spayed, her vaccinations are up to date, has no health problems and hasn't been known to kill birds. She is approximately 6 years old. Good home needed for April Anyone who feels that they could give her a good home with lots of love please contact News & Views and we'll pass details on.
