to Haulwen, GTCO-Glynneath
20200423a-EM-RICD-GTCO-complaint1
Hi Haulwen - cheers - for the email I realise the GTC have no say in the
matter but I would like the information I provided to the council to be
recorded by the GTC because in 2-3 years time if contaminated slurry is
flowing through my house I will be laying the blame anywhere and everywhere
I can and chasing every avenue for compensation and retribution. At present,
I'm just laying a trail of information to make this easier for people to
undertsand why if that day comes they find themselves at the wrong end of a
claim etc. At the end of the day NPTC is accountable for the actions of
their planning department because even if they are following the UK and
Welsh government guidlines and rules, the purpose of the NPTC according to
their corporate plan is:
"(Our Purpose Neath Port Talbot Council exists) to serve and represent the
interests of its citizens and communities. We strive to improve the
economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of all of our
people"
their values state that:
"We will conduct the work of the Council in an open and accessible way,
ensuring we are properly accountable for the decisions we make."
and if Glynneath Town Council which is part of NPTC sit back and let adverse
events happen to the residents of Glynneath without advocating for them as
they have done in the past, then I'll be making sure that they are
accountable too. If this email sounds a little angry, apologies, it is not
aimed at you personally, it is aimed at previous GTC committees and those
present incumbants who waste money on flower pots with dick shaped trees to
dress up mutton as lamb rather than investing in the social infrastructure
of a dying community.
I've looked at the GTC website but I'm unable to find what the purpose or
aims of the GTC are, would it be possible please to identify what these are
for me please or perhaps the town clerk should make it their goal to place
this information on the website?
I've copied this email to the GTC for the purpose of recording it on council
records as a complaint against the Glynneath Town Council of 2008 who failed
to protect the people of Glynneath by allowing a survey that contained
information about classified Grade 1 carcinogens in the soil unchallenged,
and I suspect unrecorded and unread. I've attached this information to this
email.
This complaint also extends to the current day, 23/4/2020, because until
this date both County Councillors Simon Knoyle and Del Morgan who are aware
of contaminated land and carcinogens information have failed in their
capacities as councillors representing the people whose properties either
border on or are close to the site. They have refused to ask pertinent
questions of the planning department and they have refused to provide
information about what happened to the land in 2008 when it was identified
as contaminated.
These pair seem to be supporting their wage packets as opposed to the people
who they are supposed to represent.
The following is the start of the health issues I am investigating relating
to people living close to the site
TP3 - the nearest houses are less than 50 metres away and the occupants of
one of the houses (I haven't talked to the other house) 2 out of 3 have
cancer, the other one has asthma. The identified poison at this location is
Benzo[a]pyrene classified as a grade 1 carcinogen.
TP5 - the nearest house about 25 metres away - two of the occupants have
died in the last 3 years, one with a degenerative condition.
TP5 - My house is about 40 metres from this spot and my granddaughter was
born two years ago with an unexplained mutation (my son (and his partner)
both lived here not long before my granddaughter was conceived.
Again I would like it recorded by the Glynneath Town Council that on taking
information out of the chemical survey in 2008.
80% of the current Enzo development was recorded as contaminated with 40% of
that containing grade 1 carcinogens.
NPTC refuse to provide information about what was done about this
contamination as do County Councillors Del Morgan & Simon Knoyle.
Please record this information on the Glynneath Town Council records and my
complaints about the Glynneath Town Council in 2008 and the present day
County Councillors Del Morgan and Simon Knoyle. regards - Dai Richards
