contradictory statements

   

Hi Nick - reference Public Health Wales, I know that Councillor Simon Knoyle says he has met with them and he says he will release the information so that everyone can see this. He said this on 14 February 2022 and I know he received the report on 11 April 2022, this is 17 months ago and to the best of my knowledge he has not released this information to the public. I am aware that he uses the Glynneath Town Council Facebook account on this page so I have tagged him in this comment, perhaps you could ask him to provide the information received by him from Public Health Wales in relation to the Heol y Glyn site on 11 April 2022 so that those living around the site can be informed.   

   

Nick Thomas Glynneath Town Council Ceri Willcox Thank you for your enquiry. I would suggest that your terminology is rather subjective, I am merely stating facts about the relative councillors which I believe to be true. It is not my role as a resident to approach Public Health Wales, it is the role of a public official. I am aware that Councillor Knoyle has approached Public Health Wales, please see the relevant information taken from councillor Knoyles letter to the properties surrounding the site on 14 February 2022.

ACTION LOG - Letter to PHW including police tag

date keywords info
finish

 

Dear Public Health Wales,

This is not a complaint but I have been advised by your reception that if I was to send an email to PHW then this would be the best one and potentially you could distribute it to its correct location or treat it as a compliant as per the following information. 
The purpose of this email is singular, however, the priority of actions in relation to the email are as follows:

Firstly - In the interest of openness and transparency, we would prefer to be allowed to scrutinise information being submitted to PHW by Neath-Port Talbot CAC and Natural Resources Wales for an assessment being undertaken in realtion to the Heol y Glyn landfill site, as can be seen in the main body of this email.

Secondly, if you are unable to do this please can you deal with this email as a complaint against Dr Keith Read, the Public Health Director for our area (Neath-Port Talbot) in May 2021. (see below)

Firstly, we would prefer that you forward this email to the correct department within Public Health Wales dealing with the Glynneath Councillor Simon Knoyle and the PHW enquiry in relation to the Heol y Glyn landfill site in Glynneath. It is possible that he is dealing with PHW locally or through Neath-Port Talbot Council. His email address is as follows cllr.s.a.knoyle@npt.gov.uk and his phone number is 07968 386108, he may be the best person to advise you who his contact is within PHW if he is not found on your system. 

INTRODUCTION

My name is David Richards and I am the author of a report about a cluster of the rare neurodegenerative disorder, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy that has occurred in my street. The report was commissioned by a group of residents living next to an unsupervised landfill site. Two of our group have died recently from this rare disorder, living 4 houses apart in the closest proximity to the site in a period of 2 years, this following on from unlicensed tipping next to their homes prior to the onset of symptoms. The site was previously owned by the Cuddy Group Ltd, a former demolition contractor, that had several contracts to demolish and remediate areas of major industrial sites such as BP Llandarcy and Monsanto Chemicals in Barry. Contamination reports at the site have been ignored by our local council and the associated HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENTS have either also been ignoredn and/or do not exist. The report has been published by my company Rugby Relics Ltd, and it is in my position as a director of this company that I contact you today. 

(Secondly) Dr Read was informed of the occurrences by the PSP by a neurologist at UCL, Huw Morris and no action has been taken by PHW to safeguard the families surrounding the toxic waste landfill site that has caused these deaths. Potentially we may see more because of this.

I attach to this email:

1 - A copy of the PSP report

2 - an extract from a letter distributed selectively to residents within the mailing area by Councillor Simon Knoyle. Apologies for the quality of the image, I was one of those residents selected not to receive this communication and have received the image from a member of our group.

3 - The full letter for the purpose of context.

The letter was distributed by the Neath-Port Talbot County Borough and Glynneath Town Councillor, Simon Knoyle. What can be seen on the extract is a record that Councillor Knoyle has made contact with Public Health Wales and that PHW are undertaking an assessment into the site. 

GLYNNEATH TOWN COUNCIL

It should be noted that I have copied both Councillor Knoyle and the Glynneath Town Council to this email along with the planning department at NPTCBC and South Wales Police, so they are aware of what I am saying in this email.

COUNCILLOR SIMON KNOYLE

Please do not trust Councillor Simon Knoyle or any information he may supply to you verbally or otherwise. He is a corrupt public official who would prefer see the residents of Glynneath die rather than admit he is wrong in previously supporting an unscrupulous developer. Councillor Knoyle also runs a construction industry consultancy. He has throughout the planning process of the development associated with the report, used methods of deception to persuade most of his fellow Glynneath Town Councillors and the public of Glynneath that the landfill site surrounding our community is safe and the chemical testing associated with the site will follow protocol. He has even physically threatened a 79 year old man who dared to challenge his opinion when he was found to be blatantly lying in public about a recent chemical testing. Councillor Knoyle is aware that 22,000 tons (should read 22,000 cubic metres) of potentially toxic waste has been classed as inert to avoid testing, he is using methods of deception to give residents living next to toxic waste unfounded confidence in their environment. 

NEATH PORT-TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL

There site has been chemically tested and found to be contaminated twice (that we are aware of.)

2008 - A HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT accompanied the first test and showed the contaminants to be dangerous to human health This information was later withdrawn from the planning process and the ground was never tested further or remediated as required by law. 

2020 - More recently a chemical test took place in October 2020 and a number of carcinogens, neurotoxins and mutagens can be found in the topmost layer of the soil well above safety guidelines. A recent planning approval by the NPTCBC planning department will allow the developer to remove this contaminated soil as inert. The HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT that should accompany the testing is missing from this report and Councillor Knoyle's letter dated 14/2/22 fails to mention the contaminants that can be found on site or the missing HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT. There are also several indicators that the original chemical test report has been tampered with and the Head of Planning and Public Protection at NPTCBC has been refusing to answer questions asked by the Chair of the relevant Council Scrutiny Committee in relation to this test and missing HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT, This he has done for the last 3 months. Previous reports in relation to this planning process, notably the environmental report can be shown to have been altered after submission to the planning department.

The following videos on YouTube contain evidence of corruption within this specific planning process.

NATURAL RESOURCES WALES

Natural Resources Wales are referring all instances of NPTCBC corruption back to NPTCBC, they have refused to investigate eyewitness reports of the tipping of barrels of what is believed to be toxic waste on the site stating that it is too expensive to undertake excavations. NPTCBC on the other hand say this exact same area is inert and can be removed from the site without being tested and also moved closer to the homes surrounding the site to fill in a stream and raise the land levels accordingly.

PUBLIC HEALTH WALES

Councillor Knoyle and Councillor Del Morgan, his co-borough councillor have undertaken corrupt activities and hidden contamination information realting to the site since October 2020.

Public Health Wales, have been approached by Councillor Knoyle (potentially with my PSP report) and dealt with him. It is therefore, highly likely that he has attempted to deceive you to support his personal political corrupt activities. I base this on the majority of official communications made by Councillor Knoyle in relation to the planning process, and would suggest that in relation to the land in question surrounding our homes, you have now been made accountable by Simon Knoyle to produce a balanced, honest report in relation to the site. To avoid any future comebacks on Public Health Wales we ask please that in relation to this report you allow openness and transparency prior to the report being published. 

OPENNESS & TRANSPARENCY

Further to Councillor Knoyle's letter in which he states that 

"I was told that they (PHW) 'are in contact with officers at NPT and NRW and are compiling site details and reports to inform their assessment'. I am waiting further details to follow in reply from Public Health Wales"

I have previously stated that in relation to this case (Heol y Glyn Development, Glynneath), the following organisations Neath-Port Talbot County Borough Council & Natural Resources Wales have acted corruptly. That is, they have not followed the rules and regulations and/or the guidance for their organisation in relation to contaminated land. As such I would suggest that any information they provide you with is potentially false and/or incorrect.

I WOULD REQUEST THE FOLLOWING PLEASE FROM PUBLIC HEALTH WALES IN SUPPORT OF THE RESIDENTS OF GLYNNEATH WHOM I REPRESENT

1. All communication with public officials from the following organisations be recorded, for example face to face (video recorded), telephone (recorded), email, written letter etc. (Glynneath Town Council, NPTCBC & NRW) and made available for public scrutiny.

2. Public Health Wales allow myself and my team (to include 2 chemistry PhD academics and a Health and Safety specialist) to scrutinise any communication or information provided to PHW by NPTCBC and NRW prior to including such information in a final report.

3. PHW copy us into any relevant communication with NPTCBC & NRW.

I do hope you take on the seriousness of our concerns, people are dying here and we need support from organisations like yourselves that have integrity.

regards - David Richards on behalf of Rugby Relics Ltd, in support of the East Glynneath Residents Against Contamination

LETTER TO RESIDENTS - NOT SENT

SIMON KNOYLE - COUNCILLOR OF DEATH

Simon Knoyle placed a letter through several doors in Brynhyfryd, Waun Gron and Woodland Park, on 14/2/2022. You may have received one, he cares so much about Brynhyfryd and Waun Gron that he can’t even spell them correctly.

This is the type of Councillor Simon Knoyle is, he is sloppy and negligent in his actions, useless at his job as a councillor, but worse than this, he’s a con artist who is placing you and your family in danger from his actions, and when he writes letters to you such as he has done recently, then he is a corrupt public official. His modus operandau is that  he’s happy to endanger the lives of the people of this community to further his own political ambitions. That’s why I call him, the Councillor of Death.

I will give you an example: This is what Simon Knoyle, the Councillor of Death said said………………………..

When Simon Knoyle says there are no ‘plans’ submitted to the Local Planning Authority this is a lie, if you search the NPTCBC planning website for the planning application P2021/0546 you will see that there are plans there waiting to be approved.

If you look at the documents within those plans “view associated documents” you will see a document called “Soil Chemical Testing Phase 1 – October 2020”. This document shows that there is actual chemical contamination on the site that is lying on the top layer of the soil that could potentially affecting people in this area as we speak. There should be a human health risk assessment with this, that is missing. The human health risk assessment as far as we are concerned is the only relevant document in the planning process that we should be concerned about. It is a document that tells us how dangerous the contamination is. The contaminants in the soil as you read this bordering on the houses of Brynhyfryd and Woodland Park are up to 9 times the safety guidelines, which is probably why the human health risk assessment is missing.

Simon Knoyle is aware of this information. We provided it to him in his role as Glynneath Town Council Chair to be discussed at a Town Council meeting, it never was. This is just one thing that Simon Knoyle thought not to tell you, a tactical omission to make you think everything is fine, its not. You and your family are in danger of death if you don’t start listening.

Simon Knoyle is like another Boris Johnson, he has the smile and the patter and that’s where his political skills end. He’s popular amongst the population.

If you look at the first document in the list of the planning application P2021/0546, Decision Notice P2020/0863 you will see that this planning approval has already taken place and it removes the requirement for testing the spoil heap. Simon Knoyle was instrumental in sneaking this planning application through the process (see our latest video on YouTube) , he met with Enzo and the planning department on site in October 2020, while Enzo was breaking the conditions set by the council. The spoil heap on the site has approximately 22,000 tons of spoil and there are several eyewitness reports of toxic waste being dumped there. Simon Knoyle is aware of these reports.P2021/0546 planning approval was done without the committee involved and after Simon Knoyle PROMISED the people of Glynneath that the testing would be done correctly. This soil hasn’t been tested and it is going to be moved to fill in the stream right next to those houses in Brynhyfryd that border the site.

When Simon Knoyle mentions Public Health Wales he doesn’t mention that people in Brynhyfryd have DIED from extremely rare brain disorders that can be linked to contamination. We prepared a document with this information which was submitted to Glynneath Town Councillors who destroyed this information and Simon Knoyle has been sitting on this document since July of last year.

The reason you have heard from Simon Knoyle this week is because on 4 February we provided him with a list of NPTCBC corruption incidents and health information relating to the site that we were going to provide you, the residents with. When he says that he’s done scrutiny, what he means is that he’s worked hand in hand with Enzo Homes and the corrupt planning department at NPTCBC to place the lives of my family, your family and all the families surrounding the development in danger.

He is without doubt the most corrupt and disgusting public official I have ever come across.

This letter comes to you from Dai Richards, Director, Rugby Relics Ltd, please feel free to inform the police, Simon Knoyle or other  if you believe the information to be incorrect and of a criminal nature.

I have been fighting, Cuddy, Enzo, Short Bros and NPTCBC planning department for the last 6 years on your behalf, you may not realise it but I might have saved your life. If you want to join me and others who are fighting Simon Knoyle, Del Morgan and other corrupt councillors my details are below.

Questions to ask Simon Knoyle to establish his integrity as a councillor.

Why did you not mention about planning application P2021/0546 in your letter.

Can you confirm that the 22,000 cubic metres s of spoil heap that no longer have the requirement to be tested are inert and not contaminated.

Why did you not mention in your letter that the ground was tested and found to be contaminated in October 2020.

Where is the human health risk assessment that should have accompanied the contamination testing report in October 2020 that you were asked to chase up in July 2021..
