Solva Newsletter
The Community Council publishes a free monthly Newsletter which is distributed to every household in Solva, Whitchurch and Middle Mill by a willing team of volunteers; it is also available to download. Precept funds help pay for the costs, and local businesses also contribute through donations and advertising revenue. It also has a Facebook page @SolvaNews. An archive of earlier Newsletters is at the foot of this page.
If you are a business and would like to support it, please get in touch through our Contact form.
If you would like to submit anything to the next Newsletter, please contact the editor Peter on newyddionsolfach@gmail.com
