🔔 NEWS ALERT: A Clock-Tastrophe Looms in Cwmbran! 🕰️
In a twist that could bring legal drama to the picturesque town of Cwmbran, the future of the beloved Dai and Myfanwy statuettes hangs in the balance! These charming figures, donned in traditional Welsh attire and nestled on the Congress Theatre’s wall, have been watching over one of Wales’ busiest shopping spots for decades. But now, their fate is uncertain.
The statues and the iconic clock were almost set to be replaced by a large digital ad screen. Thanks to a massive public outcry—over 700 objections were made!—those plans were put on hold. Yet, the clock remains silent, the statues still, and the issue has become a hot potato that no one seems to want to claim. ⚖️
Councillor David Thomas has voiced his support for keeping Dai and Myfanwy spinning and keeping the town’s heritage alive. But there’s a hiccup: ownership and responsibility for the statues and clock have become a tangled web of bureaucracy.
With the building leased from property giant LCP, and the lease not mentioning the clock, there’s a head-scratching standstill. Everyone’s looking for answers, but who’s going to step up and bring these iconic figures back to life remains a mystery for now.
What’s next for Dai and Myfanwy? Could there be legal duels ahead? 🏛️ The council says they’re seeking legal advice to unravel this conundrum. In the meantime, the lively pair remain frozen in time, waiting for their chance to once again dance above Cwmbran’s bustling centre.
