HEOL Y GLYN DEVELOPMENT, GLYNNEATH

date	keywords	info
END		Dear Glynneath Town Council Please can you discuss in a full Glynneath Town Council meeting, this contradictory statement by Councillor Knoyle in his role as a Neath-Port Talbot and Glynneath Town Councillor. The statement together with relevant information from the NPTC website can be seen in the attached image. In a letter to the residents of this area, Councillor Knoyle infers that there are no plans in place for the Heol y Glyn development, while a search on the NPTC planning applications website reveals the planning application P2021/0546 for the site is awaiting a decision. This means there are plans in place and they could be approved at any time. It is important to understand that when this application is approved that at least 21,000 cubic metres of toxic waste will be moved around the site at will by the developer following the recent approval P2020/0863 which councillor Knoyle has supported that removed the requirement for testing of the spoil heap on the site.The movement of this contaminated soil will potentially poison the people of Glynneath, not just those surrounding the site but all of Glynneath may be affected by poisonous chemicals should an easterly wind blow while the developer is at work moving the contaminants around the site. Please could you also urge Councillors Knoyle and Morgan to reply to our 10/9/2021 communication and provide a 'HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT' for the site as required by the most recent edition of the Council Contaminated Land Strategy. The land has been chemically tested and has been found to be contaminated. As such a HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT should be made available to show how dangerous the contamination is to human health. Letters were delivered to the councillors homes requesting this, further info can be found in this YouTube video. https://youtu.be/ag4G36k8wlc Our latest video which is posted on Facebook and Youtube about your council's failure to discuss a Corporate Manslaughter communication, can be seen here. https://youtu.be/9bgEfn2ZNdk regards David Richards, Rugby Relics Ltd (on behalf of East Glynneath Residents Against Contamination)
