ALL READERS – I HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY HAPPY & SUSTAINABLE 2012
CPRW Newport & Valleys Branch has had a very busy, and often successful 2011: -
- We opposed the ‘Energy From Waste’ plant proposed near Merthyr – The proposal was withdrawn
- We assisted with objections to the greenfield development of 1200 houses at South Sebastopol (Cwmbran) – The Council voted it down
- We have submitted a lengthy response on the Torfaen Deposit Local Development Plan – We await the result
- We proposed and (mostly) organised a Landscape Art Exhibition in Newport – For a first attempt it was pretty good – we plan to repeat it in 2012
- We have been involved in the M4 ‘Corridor Enhancement Measures’ consultation – Continuing – wider public consultation in early 2012
- We have submitted an objection to the proposed new Gipsy Site in countryside near Bettws (Newport – Awaiting decision
