Fernhill Rhondda Conservation Group are holding a public meeting on Thursday July 24, 7pm, at Blaenrhondda Social Club at the head of the Rhondda Valleys.
The purpose of the meeting is to disseminate the findings of a questionnaire which Fernhill Rhondda Conservation Group and local community members have undertaken. The questionnaire ascertains the community’s views on the proposed development for the Fernhill Colliery strategic site, as identified within Rhondda Cynon Taff Local Development Plan and at Cofton’s (the proposed developers and landowners) recent public exhibition.
Organiser Sheryl Husband commented: “As you are probably aware the submission of an outline planning application by Cofton’s is imminent and there is much concern surrounding their development proposals within the local community. To date responses from some 300 plus questionnaires have been collated. They indicate a strong consensus of opinion towards a more leisure and tourism orientated development. This is your opportunity to come along as our elected representatives and observe / assess the strength of feeling on the issues relating to this development which the community feel are important, we would appreciate it if you could make every effort to attend.”
