Come and Fight for your Hirwaun Future
October 7, 2008
You are invited to a Public Meeting to show Hirwaun residents want a say in the future of Hirwaun Village.
The Meeting is at 5pm on Thursday 9th October 2008 at Sobells Sports Centre, Aberdare.
Where R.C.T. Councillors will be deciding on the Gloucesters/Ironworks site planning application which will have a huge effect on the life of Hirwaun village.
Developers have re-submitted plans to build 130 houses 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.
R.C.T PLANNING OFFICERS ARE TRYING TO PERSUADE COUNCILLORS TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS & APPROVE THIS APPLICATION
There is a very real danger that councillors may approve this application despite overwhelming objections from residents over the last 3 years.
Planning officers are of the opinion that proposed so called ‘improvements’ to the roads in and around the Church and Post Office which consist of speed bumps, widening of pavements and dropped kerbs will solve the existing problems and accommodate a 61% increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Residents however feel that speed bumps are not a solution - the problems which occur on a daily basis occur at low speed and are due to the sheer volume of traffic which uses the narrow roads in and around the centre of the village. High Street will be gridlocked!
R.C.T. Councillors will be deciding this application at: 5 P.M ON THURSDAY 9TH October 2008 at the Sobells Sports Centre
IF YOU CARE THEN PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY ATTENDING THE PLANNING MEETING TO DEMONSTRATE THAT HIRWAUN RESIDENTS WANT A SAY IN THE FUTURE OF THE VILLAGE
