Back to Blogging - Tower Open Cast

Apologies for not updating my blog regularly during the summer months, but I hope many of you have been following my activities on Twitter.

We had a very busy time leafleting and canvassing during my General Election campaign. It’s leafleting time again and I hope as many Plaid members and supporters as possible will join me and our regular band of leafleters.

This week, we were out with Coun. Karen Morgan in Hirwaun, dodging the showers to urge people to make their views known on plans for opencast mining at the Tower Colliery site, which will be considered by RCT Council’s Planning Committee.

Karen explains in her leaflet that, as a member of the Planning Committee, she cannot speak out in advance of the committee discussion, as that would prejudice her position as a committee member. But she is keen on hearing people’s views in advance of the meeting and is urging local residents to attend a public meeting about the plans in Hirwaun next Wednesday (October 6th), starting at 7pm.

The meeting is being organised by Hirwaun and Penderyn Community Council and is being held at Hirwaun Village Hall.

Tomorrow (Saturday, October 2nd), I’ll be chairing the final hustings for the South Wales Central hustings to decide which Plaid Cymru candidates go onto the four-person regional list for the Welsh Assembly elections next year. There’s a strong field of six candidates and I’ll be organising the counting of votes after the hustings have ended.
