Christmas and New Year Message from the Town Mayor Cllr Russell Downe

Christmas is a great opportunity to spend time with your family and friends. The holidays give us a chance to relax a little, enjoy each other's company, and reflect on the events of the past year. For many people, Christmas is a very special time of year. Families unite to celebrate, friends are remembered, and hope and peace comes with the joy of the season. As the lights glow beautifully on our Christmas trees, our businesses, our homes, I hope that it helps to brighten up our spirits for this festive season of Christ' Birthday. I hope that this light serves as a guiding light to help us all rise to better times in the near future
When I look around Llantwit, the huge variety of life never ceases to amaze me. It is one of the best places in which to live. Our multicultural community works together to add a zest to life. Llantwit Major Town Council takes great pride in improving the quality of life of our wonderful community. It gives me great pleasure to see the way Council has really contributed to this Town. In a host of areas,
It is during Christmas and New Year that goodwill and friendship traditionally prevail but one of the things that has been made abundantly clear to me since becoming Mayor is that these qualities are alive and well within our community all the year round.
At this time of year, is also one for reflection, we must not forget those less fortunate than ourselves and thank the many people and organisations which assist those in need and make Christmas a much happier time. As you enjoy your holidays, please spare a thought for the many people who will not be surrounded by their families and friends this festive season.
As Mayor of Llantwit Major it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of all the council’s Staff and Councillors, to offer the people of Llantwit Major best wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Healthy, Happy and Peaceful New Year

Cllr Russell Downe Town Mayor
