The Community

The Community Council is an elected body representing the residents of Lisvane on local services and issues and is the "grass roots" organisation at the lowest level of government.

The Community Association is a voluntary organisation of Lisvane residents who coordinate, facilitate and provide social and recreational activities for the local community. It has charitable status and is the prime focus for community activities, whether artistic, recreational, fund raising or social. It produces the Lisvane Link magazine which is the primary source of current information on village life. Click on the name above to see the full breadth of activities available.
The Old School complex is owned by the Community and provides venues for many village activities as well as accommodating the Community Library. As part of the on-going development of village facilities, there are plans to upgrade the Old School complex in order to maintain continuity when the Cabin and Annex buildings on the site reach the end of their useful life.
The Memorial Hall is a large, well equipped facility, managed by the Memorial Hall Trustees, providing a venue capable of staging larger scale events for the community. It hosts many of the social, religious and recreational activities of the village.
