New free summer tennis initiative launched in Rhymney
The programme, aimed at bringing youngsters together to promote positive communities, health, and fitness, started this week as part of the Respect Rhymney initiative. Gwent Police's neighbourhood officers are working with sport development officers from Caerphilly County Borough Council for the scheme. The free programme, named 'In the Right Court,' will run every Monday between 4pm and 6pm. It aims to give young people the chance to meet neighbourhood officers, learn tennis skills, and enjoy community learning. All tennis equipment is provided. Inspector Lysha Thompson, leading the programme, said: "It was great to see such a fantastic turnout for the opening session, with over 30 young people – aged between three and 12 – coming down to the courts to meet officers. "With a mix of drills, exercises and games, there was something for everyone, and it provided us with a great opportunity to meet the children and their guardians, and, as well as all the tennis on show, strike up a conversation around how we can all make Rhymney a community to be proud of." The next session is scheduled for Monday, June 9, and will continue every Monday, weather permitting, until the end of September. The Respect Rhymney programme is part of Gwent Police's Clear, Hold, Build initiative. The 'Clear' phase involves targeting crime groups to prevent their operation. This is followed by enforcement and engagement to maintain the area and prevent other organised crime groups from moving in. The 'Build' phase focuses on fostering pride in the area and educating children and young people on the consequences of crime and antisocial behaviour. The initiative aims to create a safer, more engaged community in Rhymney by involving young people in positive activities. To find out more about the neighbourhood policing team's work in the area or other initiatives, people can visit the Respect Rhymney section on the Gwent Police website.

Council to scrap 75 sports pitches increase after backlash
The council has announced it will be reconsidering the 75 per cent hike (Image: Caerphilly County Borough Council) This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. A planned 75 per cent price increase for the hire of sports pitches and pavilions across Caerphilly county borough has been reconsidered by the council's cabinet. The cabinet met on Wednesday, May 21, to consider a report which outlined a revised set of costs for outdoor sports facilities, significantly lower than originally anticipated. The council has 'responded positively to the feedback from the community' according to Councillor Sean Morgan. He said the feedback 'clearly told us that the increased costs could have a significant impact on grassroots sport across the county borough.' He said: "Therefore, we have developed a revised pricing structure which places the council at the average point for adult fees when compared to neighbouring local authorities. "We will also maintain a position whereby fees in the youth, junior and mini age groups are well below the average of other local authorities." The cabinet will now consider a revised approach to the original 75 per cent increase. It will be relating to outdoor sports facilities like grass sports pitches - football, rugby and cricket pitches, but not artificial 3G pitches. Councillor Chris Morgan, cabinet member responsible for leisure, added: "I'm sure the community will welcome this news, which demonstrates we are willing to listen to feedback and respond accordingly. "We have a 10-year strategy to get more people, more active, more often and our outdoor facilities are a key part of this plan." He said the revised pricing structure will support clubs and organisations to continue the 'excellent work they carry out across the county borough.'
