The playground is owned and managed by the Community Council.
Alexandra Gardens and the Pinog are owned and managed by the Community Council and are also registered village green which affords both areas legal protection.
If you wish to organise an event in any of the above areas, please get in touch with the Community Council, as permission will need to be given.
You will be asked to supply evidence of Public Liability Insurance with a minimum cover of £5 million and a Risk Assessment for your event prior to permission being considered.
Don’t forget that if you are a constituted group with its own bank account the Community Council may consider offering grant funding to support your event. You can find the application forms here http://stdogmaelscc.pcwpreview.co.uk/grant-funding/
Statutory Protection of Village Greens
Section 12 of the Inclosure Act 1857 makes it a criminal offence to:
- wilfully cause injury or damage to any fence on a green;
- wilfully take any cattle or other animals onto a green without lawful authority;
- wilfully lay any manure, soil, ashes, rubbish or other material on a green;
- undertake any act which causes injury to the green (e.g. digging turf); or
- undertake any act which interrupts the use or enjoyment of a green as a place of exercise and recreation (e.g. fencing a green so as to prevent access).
Section 29 of the Commons Act 1876 makes it a public nuisance to:
- encroach on a green (e.g. extending the boundary of an abutting property so as to exclude people from that area);
- inclose a green (i.e. by fencing it in, whether or not the effect is to exclude public access);
- erect any structure other than for the purpose of the better enjoyment of the green; or
- disturb, occupy or interfere with the soil of the green other than for the purpose of the better enjoyment of that green.
