Prior to the pandemic, Clos Myddlyn in Beddau was a nice, normal-looking street like any other in the area. However, after a thoughtful gesture during lockdown from one neighbour, the cul-de-sac has transformed into "the best street in Wales".
The prestigious title has been self-awarded by a resident of the street, Alison Jones, who says co-workers often say how they wish they had similar neighbours after hearing her stories. Starting in lockdown, Alison received a letter through the door with a bingo ticket, stating a game of bingo would take place on the coming Saturday at 4pm.
"We always acknowledged each other, but got closer over lockdown," 52-year-old Alison explained. From the first game of bingo, a 'committee' Facebook group was set up to organise activities to boost morale.
