Hirwaun Village Fights Back… Again

October 8, 2008

Action for HirwaunA Public Meeting will be held in Aberdare on Thursday 9th October 2008, at the Sobells Sports Centre.

At the Meeting Rhondda Cynon Taf Councillors will decide on the new Gloucesters & Ironworks site planning application.

All Welcome.

A Planning Application has been re-submitted to the local Council. The plans are for 130 houses to be built on the Hirwaun Gloucesters and old Ironworks site. This area is much valued and used by the community as an area for recreation and leisure and home to an abundance of wildlife and flora.

Councillors voted to refuse planning permission in July 2008.

Local Council Planning Officers are trying to persuade Councillors to change their minds and approve this application, despite overwhelming objections from residents over the last 3 years.

The people of Hirwaun are not opposed to building new houses.

They are opposed to inappropriate overdevelopment at the expense of the whole community.

Hoo-bloody-rah! for Hirwaun people fighting for their own Community.
