Fairyland Project

Fairyland residents have adopted an old flower bed on the estate kindly donated by NPT Homes. The project, funded by Keep Wales Tidy through Outcomes funding, included planting a Maple Crimson King tree, 100 native daffodil bulbs and a commemorative plaque ensuring that young lives from the estate will always be remembered.

Kathryn Britton from Keep Wales Tidy said:
“It’s great to support such a community led project as this one. The residents in Fairyland are very pro-active within their community and a pleasure to work with.”
The community came together to plant the tree and bulbs as a tribute to popular neighbours, friends and family members who have sadly passed away. Forward 4 Fairyland Residents & Tenants’ Association has worked closely with Keep Wales Tidy, NPT Homes and Communities First so the estate can have a permanent memorial to loved ones.

Forward 4 Fairyland spokesperson said:
"This tree and plaque is a fitting tribute to those that we have lost in recent years. All were big personalities on our estate and are missed dearly.
This area is now somewhere where we can all visit and remember the people that are no longer with us.”

Ross Williams, Tenant Empowerment Officer at NPT Homes added:
“We were pleased to be able to agree to the request from Forward 4 Fairyland to allow them to plant a memorial tree on our land.
We are delighted that the people of Fairyland have come together by planting a tree as a lasting reminder of what their loved ones brought to the community.”
A community waste amnesty was also held on the same day removing nearly a tone of unwanted household items and furniture.
