Subject: Glynneath Residents Against Contamination

Dear Cllr Hunt,

I am writing to you on behalf of the chairman of the Glynneath Residents Against Contamination, Mr Dai Richards. Mr Richards has sent me the following that he would like you, in your capacity as Leader of the Council, to address directly.

Mr Richards has asked that “Christina please make representation on our behalf of our group Glynneath Residents Against Contamination to the Council Leader at NPTC, Stephen Karl Hunt, requesting an official response from the council in relation to a document submitted to 15 NPTC Councillors in September 2020 that identified the council breached the UK Government's 1990 Environmental Act during the planning process at the Heol y Glyn site. To date this document has not been responded to and there is clear evidence that the Head of Planning at NPTC, Ceri Morris has misrepresented this UK Government legislation.”

I have copied in Cllr Llewellyn, as deputy leader, and Cllr Knoyle, as Mr Richards’ local councillor.

I would appreciate a response to Mr Richards. If you have any questions about the points raised by Mr Richards, please let me know, otherwise, I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Christina Rees MP
