Where We Are

The community council comprises of three wards; Skenfrith, Rockfield and Llangattock-vibon-avel in the county of Monmouthshire.

Launch of latest 'Village Life' defibrillator at Rockfield 

The Village Life Community Project, the group responsible for installing defibrillators at locations around North Monmouthshire, will be holding a launch of the latest project – a defibrillator in the refurbished telephone box at Rockfield.
The group have been able to help fund a number of the life-saving machines, installing them at various locations; in Cross Ash at the primary school; on the wall of the village hall at Skenfrith; at the Maypole and Newcastle phone boxes.
Councillors of Llangattock-vibon-avel and members of the press have been invited to attend the opening ceremony of the AED at midday on 10th November on the green at Rockfield.
The machine has been installed in the former BT phone box which has been refurbished by members of the Village Life Project and was funded by a grant from the National Grid Community Grants Scheme.
Meanwhile, the other 'Village Life' AEDs in Skenfrith, Cross Ash and the Maypole continue to be maintained and available, and the group are running their annual lifesaving skills refresher classes again this winter. They are also planning to instigate a 'help in a crisis' network of volunteers, initially in Maypole and St Maughans, who will be available through a special village emergency telephone number.
The launch will give councillors an opportunity to inspect the wayside cross at Rockfield over which some residents have expressed concern as the cross at the top has become unstable.
