COUNCILLOR SIMON KNOYLE - WHITEWASH FACEBOOK POST 24/3/2021

I apologise for the amount of posts today and the length of them, this one is a little shorter �� I have been asked to scrutinise and ask questions on several issues regarding the Proposed Residential Development at the Heol y Glyn Site, this I have done. I have a file of information relating to this and copies of all e-mails sent and received on the subject. This information is in relation to the historical nature of the site.

The East Glynneath Residents Group have also received this information directly from NPTCBC but have not published this for anyone to see. ? Moving forward and aside from NPTCBC, I have also received information directly from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) as to the land in question.
The land has had several tests carried out on it and I have a copy of the recent WAC (Waste Acceptance Criteria) Tests which were carried out. NRW are a Welsh Gov Sponsored Body who act as a regulator to protect people and the environment across Wales.

I do not support corruption and am here to help, support and assist all residents (where possible) who live within the area that I was elected. At the Planning Meeting in September 2020, myself and others including Glynneath Town Council made sure that further testing of the site was put into the Conditions so that the Developers were bound by these conditions and would need to close them out.
Because of the sale of the land in question, this process is still ongoing and has not been resolved as yet. It’s not my place to speak negatively of anyone, I would however say that you attract more bees with honey. Attacking and bullying people who are there to help and support is clearly not going to get anyone anywhere, fast.

When this happens, it gets to the point where replies sent are rubbished and the responder feels that there is no point in taking the conversation further. I am happy to go through this information with residents who wish to have a proactive and positive discussion. Please get in touch, I have already one resident who wishes to meet up to review with me and we hope to get together later this week. Thanks
