GLYNNEATH CONTAMINATION MURDERS 

TIMELINE OF MAJOR INCIDENTS

 

This is a brief summary of the timeline for major events and incidents in relation to the Heol y Glyn landfill site. We are still working on the history of the site and the actions surrounding it

BASE INFO

The information submitted in November 2008 was removed and manipulated and re-submitted in July 2009 to cause a false-truth in relation to the landfill status of the site.

2008 A chemical test and a human health risk assessment are included in a report submitted to the NPT Planning Department. The site is misrepresented in the report with its historical use defined as fields. This information is a 'desk top' study taken from ordnance Survey maps
  2008 Mike Cuddy of "The Cuddy Group" makes a donation of £10,000 to the then local labour MP, Peter Hain which Peter Hain failed to declare. This coincides with a planning application for development at the site to the council which at the time was Labour controlled.

2008-2010 A series of plans designed to remove the requirement for further testing or remediating the land take place. The chemical test remained buried on the planning website until found and highlighted by residents in 2020. in the planning meeting P2020/0195, the Contaminated Land Officer identifies that the test in 2008 was insufficient to quantify the level contamination which identifies that the Environmental Protection Act 1990 was breached in 2010. The breach was first suggested to the council in April 2020 and information to confirm this was submitted to the planning committee on 7/9/2020 in the form of a document.

circa 2005 & 2013

2003-2014 The Cuddy Group Ltd tipped industrial waste at the site without regulation, sometimes in the middle of night and regularly they would backfill suggesting they wanted the waste to be buried deep. Residents have witnessed barrels they suspect contain chemical waste buried on the site. Sites from where the waste was imported are believed to include BP Llandarcy and Neath General Hospital.
12.jpg (404489 bytes) 2014-2017 The Cuddy Group Ltd continued tipping industrial waste at the site, this time with a Natural Resources Wales licence for tipping only inert materials. The image here is from 2015
20160426A-WBCTEM-eddie-jones

Neath Port Talbot Council requested to investigate the actions of the Cuddy Group and to undertake a feasibility study to see if the land was suitable for housing. 

2016  "A source within the Cuddy group has indicated that the group have no intention of building houses on this land, that the land is of more value to the Cuddy Group as an area for waste disposal and the placement of houses on the site is a cover for the disposal of this waste. It is our concern that the Cuddy group will continually dump soil and rubble on the land until there is an accident or disaster. I would ask that the council undertake a feasibility study as to or not the land is suitable for housing. I would also ask that the council undertake a risk assessment or investigation to ascertain whether Mr Cuddy’s actions are of a dangerous nature to our persons and/or properties."

key information

relevance in the TIMELINE

P2016/0974 Cuddy submitted plans to tip for a further 12 months and an additional 6000 cubic metres. These plans were refused by NPTC. 

94-more-tipping.jpg (111556 bytes) "There are also possible health hazards, we just don’t know what has been tipped on this land. Only last year the Cuddy Group were acting suspiciously, digging holes, lorries then tipped into the holes, then the holes were filled in. If they were tipping ordinary soil, why would the Cuddy Group do this ?

The return email from Del Morgan suggested that I " leave out the "suspiciously" part and simply write “Only last year, the Cuddy Group were digging holes, lorries then tipped “material” into the holes, then the holes were filled in.

17-2018.jpg (662667 bytes) 12.jpg (404489 bytes)

2018 - no sign of an infrastructure

2018 The fact that Cuddy submitted plans to tip even more spoil on the site and that no development infrastructure took place is proof that the Cuddy group had no intention of building a housing development on the site. Cuddy made the land unfit for building purposes. Resident evidence taken in 2020 identified that Cuddy group tipped barrels of what is believed to be toxic waste on the site. For video evidence, please click on the link below. 
  2019 The Cuddy Group went bankrupt
  2020 Enzo Homes have bought the land and submit revised plans to NPTC. Enzo Homes are at this point in time due to appear in court for breaches of planning regulations at the development in Penllegaer, Swansea.. 
20200319A-WBCTEM-haulwen ENZO-LOGA HMOR-GTCO  SKNO-NPTC    19/3/2020 - Email to Councillor Haulwen Morgan of Glynneath Town Council, (Brynhyfryd resident) providing info about potential problems - flood risk, land contamination, environment and asking to raise the question in the Town Council. - pdf 20200319A-EM-RICD-GTCO-heulwen-enzo-and-play

Info supplied - " LAND CONTAMINATION the land contamination testing has only been done to 0.5 metres in most places, it is an extremely shoddy attempt at testing for poisons etc. We know that Cuddy was dumping in the middle of the night and digging holes, dumping to at least 4 meters and covering up the material dumped, both actions raise alarm bells. No-one knows what is under the top layer soil."

  March 2020 NPTC refuse to investigate planning protocol breaches and the local residents group are pointed to the Ombudsman to complain. They refuse to complain based upon the fact that they only wanted information.

2020

Nigel Taylor - resident Brynhyfryd, Glynneath - resident evidence in relation to the tipping of barrels in the Heol y Glyn landfill site, an interview conducted from his place of observation (bedroom). Information submitted to NPTC planning as part of an objection to the 2020 plans.
20200423A-WBEM-GTCO-complaint April 2020 The Glynneath Councillors Knoyle and Morgan refuse to communicate with the resident's group in relation to the 2008 contamination report that identified and above safety guidelines level of toxic waste. Glynneath Residents Against Contamination make a complaint against these councillors to the Glynneath Town Council. 

"This complaint also extends to the current day, 23/4/2020, because until this date both County Councillors Simon Knoyle and Del Morgan who are aware of contaminated land and carcinogens information have failed in their capacities as councillors representing the people whose properties either border on or are close to the site. They have refused to ask pertinent questions of the planning department and they have refused to provide information about what happened to the land in 2008 when it was identified as contaminated."

8 September 2020 Planning Committee meeting at NPTC are warned by a resident's group that the Planning Department have committed malpractice in relation  to the development at Heol y Glyn and if they approve the plans submitted to them then they are again rubber stamping Planning Department malpractice. The plans are approved by NPTC by the Planning Committee who include the former Glynneath Councillor Chris Williams whose wife died an un-natural death while living next to the site. In the lead up to the meeting Councillor Williams refused to answer how his wife died.

P2020/0863

CRIMINAL EVENT

12/10/2020 Enzo Homes submit plans to remove the safety conditions from 22,000 cubic metres of stock pile dumped by Cuddy at the site. This is given approval by the Head of Planning, Ceri Morris without going through the Planning Committee. The link to the left provides evidence of this.

RESPONSIBILITY - The primary responsibility for the deaths caused by  the disturbance of toxic waste lies with the Head of Planning at NPTC, Ceri Morris. The regulatory authority NRW and the local councillors at the time Simon Knoyle and Del Morgan.

Chemical testing made by Terra Firma that looks to have been tampered with and is missing one of the top level tests. The main contamination is in the top level of the soil after Enzo spread the stockpile down the site towards the homes in lower Brynhyfryd. The link to the left identifies the refusal of the Council Leader, Stephen Karl Hunt to investigate this as part of his scrutiny role.

Council Leader Statement

22/10/2020

00z.jpg (250113 bytes)

The council leader made a whitewash statement on the council website that was designed to counter our Council of Death document without actually providing evidence to counter the allegations that the council had covered up poisons on the site. This is the first open attack on the information supplied to the council by the Glynneath Residents Against Contamination against the people living around the site.

25/10/2020 - The Council Leader's statement was followed shortly on 25 October 2020 by Del Morgan & Simon Knoyle who added an addendum to the Council Leader statement that was clearly designed to discredit our document. CLICK HERE

This is the first deliberate action by the Glynneath dual purpose councillors to cover up the poisons being hidden by the Neath Port Talbot Council Planning Department. There is cross party collaboration, Labour party, Plaid Cymru and the Democratic Independents led by Stephen Karl Hunt. 

It is an open attack on the Glynneath Residents Against Contamination, the genesis of the Glynneath Contamination Murders. It is the Glynneath councillors engaging the community through social media to work against the people in the Glynneath Residents Against Contamination group. It is a war of information where they have regulatory control over the governance of communication, information and the interpretation of that information. 

FOLLOW UP - on 26/10/2020 we put in an FOI for the sources of their information which the planning department refused to provide. - CLICK HERE

In a 12 month long series of private messages and emails between Councillor Steve Hunt, Dai Richards and the Glynneath Town Councillor Jennifer Herbert, Councillor Hunt in his role as Chair of the Regeneration and Sustainable Development Scrutiny Committee agreed to ask a number of relevant questions which the Head of Planning and Public Protection Ceri Morris refused to answer. Councillor Hunt was given specific scrutiny information in relation to each question that identified potential malpractice by the Planning department. He was also given relevant information in relation to probable deaths from contamination and pointed to the fact that the famous actress Ruth Madoc lived next to the site. Ruth Madoc subsequently died from potential contamination causes.

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF LANDFILL STATUS - GLYNNEATH RESIDENTS AGAINST CONTAMINATION TIP OBSERVATIONS - The Glynneath Residents Against Contamination group has evolved from a group of residents who were concerned about the Cuddy Group Ltd tipping at the Heol-y-Glyn landfill site in 2016. Known locally as the tip, the land south of Heol-y-Glyn in the Welsh mining village of Glynneath has for the majority of the time since the late 1930s been used as a domestic and industrial landfill site. This video contains empirical evidence of this.

Firstly its important to understand the outcome of at least 25+ years of negligence, malpractice and illegal tipping of toxic waste and the effect it has had on the community surrounding the landfill site. 

34-death-locations.jpg (721584 bytes) There are now at least 20+ probable recent deaths through toxic waste poisoning that we know of. ( updated 1/1/25 ).  Additional historical potential deaths have not been included in this image and other potential deaths that may relate to the toxic waste dump have not been researched. The deaths include 6 people in the space of 4 houses at the closest point to the site, one of whom died of a rare neurodegenerative disorder, as did another in the same area. Resident evidence of toxic waste can be seen in this video.......... 20250904A-WBVI-empirical-pub
