Hirwaun Village Green Application Needs Your Support

May 25, 2008

An application has been made to R.C.T. Council to register the whole of the Gloucesters and Ironworks Site as a Village Green.

Village Green status would protect the site so that Hirwaun residents could continue to use the area for recreational and leisure purposes.

In order to meet the criteria for Village Green/Common registration it must be demonstrated that the land has been used by a substantial amount of the community, for over 20 years, for recreational and leisure purposes, without any permission being given by any landowners.

Comments regarding the application should be submitted no later than June 9th 2008 to :

Mr S Humphreys
Solicitor
For Director of Legal and Democratic Services
Municipal Buildings
Llewellyn Street
Pentre
Rhondda
CF41 7XW
