ESSENTIAL work has been carried out to refurbish the war memorial at the Memorial Hall in Rumney.
\nThe memorial at the hall on Wentloog Road was backed by Cardiff council\u2019s bereavement services and funded by Cadw and the War Memorial Trust.
\nThe work totalled \u00a370,000 with some being spent on a memorial hall in Radyr.
\n\u201cIt is a splendid job for the community of Rumney and it is well deserved,\u201d said Sue Holland, trustee at the hall.
\n\u201cThe hall is a focal part of the community and on Remembrance Dy it really comes to light. The whole community comes together and it is really lovely.
\n\u201cWe are very grateful for all the support we have had.\u201d
\nLlanrumney councillor Jackie Parry campaigned for the refurbishment and says the hall hasn\u2019t had the attention it deserves.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s many names on the memorial and they all deserve to be remembered properly. The hall was looking really dejected and as a community we had to do something about it.\u201d
