Welcome to our weekend feature, Cowbridge round-up. Throughout the week Nub News brings you national news through a local lens and positive community stories.

Here are six stories you might have missed from Cowbridge this week…

The government has updated the Countryside Code, making changes for the first time in over a decade.

Details include advice on creating a welcoming environment, for example by saying hello to fellow visitors; clearer rules to underline the importance of clearing away dog poo; staying on footpaths; and not feeding livestock.

There are no changes to waste and recycling collections this Easter.

Residents should place their rubbish outside for collection as normal.

Cowbridge-based architect Jon James has been selected to join the Board of Directors of the Design Commission for Wales.

Established in 2002 by the Welsh Government, the Design Commission for Wales (DCFW) is a national organisation which champions good design for better buildings, spaces, and places now and for future generations.

Western Vale Family Practice is no longer offering e-consultations to patients.

The doctors surgery has reviewed its services, and decided that the eConsult programme would not support its new approach.

Keep Cowbridge Special, the campaign group against the plans to build a supermarket on the former cattle market site, has launched a petition against the development.

The group says the petition is designed to stop the Vale of Glamorgan Council development which "would severely damage the independent traders on Cowbridge High Street and further add to the pressures of parking in the town".

VILLAGE fetes and other local events are the experiences we are most looking forward to when government restrictions are lifted, according to a poll seen by Nub News.

The finding comes in a survey of more than 2,000 consumers for #wecreateexperiences, a campaign being launched today (March 30) by One Industry One Voice, a group representing the UK's events industry. Leading names from music, sports and showbiz are encouraging us to plan to start sharing live experiences again, with the message: 'Together, we can do this right".

The job market is tough at the moment, so Cowbridge Nub News has introduced our new 'Job of the Week' feature.

Every week, we will be showcasing a job opportunity in the Cowbridge area.
