My Story

The proposal to build Turbine Wind Farms on MYNYDD MAEN is an assault on an area of outstanding beauty, an area which is within an easy walking distance of the town below it. They would not be inconspicuous and their addition to the area would be to uglify that outstanding beauty. The people of the town have not been fully consulted on their being put there. Surely we have a right to say Yay or Nay to their presence. The alleged effectiveness of these monsters has already been questioned by experts who have pointed out the many failures with previous experiments and once these things have been placed there they will destroy that beauty forever.

John Jenner um, not sure it’s an area of outstanding beauty…

CG each to their own tastes but the top mountain, the forests below, are to my eyes the most beautiful asset to Cwmbran and aside from the pylons which are at least functional it is the cream of our town. I’ve walked them since I was a child. The turbines will ruin that beauty.

John Jenner you must have a better view than me. Swap houses?

CG I mean actually being on top of the mountain which I’m sure you have climbed and walked across from the mast to TWM BARLWM. If you haven’t, get up there this week, revel in the expanse, walk across, enjoy the view across the town to the Severn. I can see the mountain from where I live and even at a distance, I see its beauty.
