Heol y Glyn Development conversation on Facebook Messenger

Hi Steve - that's great thanks, I've added Jennifer Herbert the Glynneath Town Councillor to this message, She's interested to hear the answers. - Dai

Good morning Dai and Steve, I’ve taken an interest in this Item Steve, because quite frankly nobody else has.

What saddens me the most is, I was talking to a elderly lady’ Iola at brynhyfryd ‘ a couple of months ago, and she told me of the lorries that were dumping at this site (Cudie’s) a while back, when they had the contract to dump whatever they were dumping there?
And for the whole of that summer could not access her garden for the foul smell each time she opened her back door?
So spent the whole summer! With her elderly husband ( deceased) indoors! and nobody namely Del at the time, looked into this for her?

It’s alarming to think that this wasn’t taken seriously at the time?
Dai Has spent a number of years on this, and I’ve no reason to doubt a lot of went on there because before I became a councillor for GTC, I had heard a few horror stories of ‘ The cuddie Group myself’ in other areas of South Wales.

What concerns me, is the ridicule Dai has been subjected to,by members of GTC, Dai has ( rightly so) stood by his convictions, disregarding the hate campaign that was clearly set up against him in GTC.

The least I can do, is try to understand the colossal work he has undergone and unearthed, and support him whichever way I can?
From the mountains of work that Dai has collected on this matter over the years, and the intensity of time committed to this item, it’s a travesty to think he isn’t being taken seriously?

Is it to outrageous to think that this crime hasn’t been committed? I would be blind not to investigate the seriousness of this matter, for all the residents living at that site and beyond.

Thanks Jennifer, I might add that Iola lives between the PSP victims.

That’s correct Dai, what a beautiful person she is, and had nowhere to turn, before you listened to her and others at this site, the least this council can do now, is get ALL the facts in order, and insist that The Borough take it seriously.

If ‘The Borough’ are saying that they “ couldn’t intervene in the process, because the Planning was underway”? That raises very serious concerns for me?

I haven’t time unfortunately to discuss on here Dai , I have very early this morning sent your web link and all your questions in advance of my personal meeting with Ceri Griffiths , Nicola Pearce and Steve Ball and hopefully a NRW representative, I have meetings all day today with a seven sisters community council meeting tonight so I won’t be active in this chat ok.

Let’s hope they at least hear him out Steve, and do the right thing at least, and give this whole scenario the air time it deserves.

Let’s hope they at least hear him out Steve, and do the right thing at l…

We will see what they say tomorrow, but this is my meeting as Chairman of Regeration and Sustainable Development Scrutiny Committee Jen as Land Contamination falls under my remit.

Then I know Dai is in good hands Steve. This is an awful situation for you Steve, but we have to look at the bigger picture, and this whole thing needs scrutiny.
