The Good Councillor's Guide, Wales states that

The Local Government (Wales) Measure 2011 gave the power of well-being to community councils enabling a council to “do anything which it considers likely to achieve the promotion or improvement of the economic, social or environmental wellbeing of their area.” This power is important because the range of activities permitted by this power is extensive providing a community or town council with considerable scope for action.

The emphasis here is on ENVIRONMENTAL WELLBEING because you are being asked to rubber stamp a reply from the council that contains several omissions and untruths.

For example in the current status it doesn't mention the plans P2021/0546 that allow the developer to move 21,000 of contained waste closer to peoples homes.

If we refer to the statement 

"In relation to your questions these infer that there is contamination present,
and that we have evidence of this, As you note the aforementioned conditions are yet to be submitted and considered, therefore this is yet to be established."

Plans submitted in 2008 and 2020 show that the site is contaminated and the conditions the planning officer talks about in the plans P2020/0863 remove the safety conditions to test for contamination.

If you as a council agree that the response from the council is sufficient evidence that contaminated land protocol has been followed then potentially you are endangering the lives of Glynneath Residents who you are elected to represent. 

My question to the council is as follows.

In December 2022 I reported the NPTC Council Leader to the police for the criminal offence Misconduct in Public Office. He is covering up the potential Corporate Manslaughter of Glynneath residents to include the actress Ruth Madoc and her husband John Jackson. I copied the clerk of the GTCO to this email. Did the clerk record this information and did the clerk provide the information in the email to the Glynneath Town Councillors.
