Deposits for houses have skyrocketed and have made things so hard, impossible even for young people to get on the ladder\nPandemic has made the zero-hour contracts even more popular as businesses are struggling so they cannot afford to give the individuals a part time contract not to mention a part time one.\nNot many opportunities around the village to gain employment as the type of jobs that are around people tend to stay in them as they are long term jobs and comfortable to be in \nLots of companies could look closer to home to employ people for their business, lots of people in the village would be happy to gain employment within the village. \nDog mess is a problem, people just need to pick it up and the use the bins provided\nLocal \u2018corner shop\u2019 very expensive but if we cannot get to a bigger supermarket, we have no choice, and they know that hence the price increase on items.\nPublic walk paths would be good, somewhere for us to get our daily exercise \nMore things for children are needed.\nMore dog bins are needed, they are few and far between at the moment\nThe shop has been a lifesaver at times \nLocal people feel like nothing is drawing people to the area, what is here for people? \nNot many jobs for young people\nLots of teenagers hanging around at night times.\nWe have bus stops through the village, but they can be very unreliable. It is a big problem for the older generation if they are stood there in the cold and the bus doesn\u2019t turn up. For lots of people the buses are their only form of transport, and they use it for important things such as hospital appointments and them not turning up can cause big problems for the individual  \nOther side of the coin of that is the people that are not as well off having to shop there. They do not have as much disposable income and have been forced to shop their putting them in financial difficulty.\nNot many shops here anymore\nPossible park or a relaxation zone would be advantageous.\n \nCommunity Council are good, reliable.\nBus timetables are a big problem. None in the bus stop, have to access online. Lots of the older generation don\u2019t have access to internet and if they do they find it very difficult to navigate. \nPeople in the village look out for each other. Were a close community and will help one another if its needed? \n***\nROAD COMMENTS\nThere is supposed to be a 30mph speed limit through the village, but it does not seem to be working. \nPeople speeding through the village is a constant worry, need more police presence as a deterrent.\nNeed to find a way to slow down the traffic in the village on the main road. \n***\nYouth club?? Have not heard of one for a while. \nLots of people still speak Welsh in the village so that is a positive thing. \nNo big concerns with the village and its appearance \nThe pandemic meant a lot of people were furloughed, so they lost a percentage of their salary or even became unemployed entirely. This could have a devastating effect on a family.\nNot much community spirit since the pandemic as people have not been able to mix with each other properly- this has been very detrimental to people\u2019s mental health. \nTaxis are very expensive \nThe younger people travel to Bangor for their entertainment. \nThere are things available if I want, I can ask a support worker to help me find things. There was no change for me during Covid, other than the events like Community Garden and Men\u2019s Shed have stopped\nQuiet area and countryside - the views are fantastic \nNo designated local bike routes\nFriendly locals. Everything you need here - local shop, petrol station, takeaway, gym, hairdressers, park, school, industrial estate, car garage, hardware store\nMust travel for a dentist\nMany people walk/run daily in Gaerwen and take a popular circular route which goes passed Morgan Evans (on your right) towards the junction - there is no pavement at all here and there are a lot of locals who walk this way daily especially with prams or dogs and a lot running too and so they're having to put their lives at risk by walking on the road. This issue also resumes when pedestrians approach junction, turning right towards Stermat there is no footpath/pavement\nShame we do not have more to do in the village that would benefit our health\nEven though they are reasonably dependable and run mostly 24 hours a day the older generation might not be able to afford a taxi but if this is their own mode of transport, they might end up possibly putting themselves in financial difficulty which is a big negative to the use of taxis \nNew signs might be a good idea? It might help.\nLots of people still very wary about getting on the bus due to the virus and prefer to stay off but doing this is making them become socially isolated even more than before.  \nFrequent and trouble-free use of public transport\nIt\u2019s a safe village- everyone says the same. \nTeenagers hanging around at night, leaving rubbish etc. they do not have a specific place to go in the evenings \nso not necessarily their fault. \nQuiet place - neighbours know each other. \nTeenagers hanging around the park at night and there is possibly underage drinking going on as lots of rubbish is left behind by them \nNeed more organisation when it come to the morning and afternoon for the school. These times of the day are so busy it can become dangerous. \nCars everywhere and small children around can be a recipe for disaster\nWould like to see more police presence on the street but with the cutbacks it\u2019s hard.\nSeeing more Police around the village will reassure the older people and possibly get them out some more. \nWe do have streetlights, but lots are always broken or just temperamental. Doesn\u2019t give people piece of mind\nCouncil tax is so expensive, so much is given to the Police yet we never see them around\nSee PCSO\u2019s sometimes, never around for too long. Don\u2019t quite know what the PCSO\u2019s are there for \nUnsafe in Gaerwen - no pavement/footpath where there is a great requirement for it.\nPrivate rent so expensive and lots of the houses are not even in very good condition. Not worth the money at all \nMore affordable homes are needed, young people can\u2019t afford deposits these days and rent is crippling them \nMore affordable housing is needed.\nMore help needed from Anglesey County Council with regards to the housing situation.\nDog mess on footpaths\nGaerwen has no \u2018beauty spots\u2019 doesn\u2019t have a focal point to draw people here. \nHas lots of convenient shops but no shops that attract people. \nDid not know we had a community council? Who is on it and what do they do? Can anyone become a member?"}}]}
