Do you want the Windfarm?

“Do you want the Windfarm?” is one of the questions facing villagers in Hirwaun and surrounding communities at the moment as local company Pennant Walters push forward plants to erect a windfarm in the village.

A Public Meeting is to be held in Hirwaun so that local people can discuss their worries about a proposed new wind-farm and other major developments.

The meeting is being organised by Action for Hirwaun which has been set up to fight for the rights of villagers to have a say in Hirwaun’s future.

A spokesperson said : “This is the biggest development of its kind in Cynon Valley… it’s massive. It will affect the lives of many thousands of people. The decisions we take now will affect the landscape for decades to come. We need a meeting to discuss this and other development issues.”

Action for Hirwaun will be holding a Public Meeting on Wednesday, October 4th 2006 at 7pm at Nebo Chapel Hirwaun.

If you are concerned about the proposed new windfarm being developed near Hirwaun or worried about other issues like traffic congestion in the community, please come along to the public meeting. All are welcome.
