Although there are some disadvantages to building on a green space in the middle of the village the development has offered some significant advantages.
Firstly it helps alleviate the shortage of local housing stock allowing local people to move up to larger houses. About 15 of the houses will be affordable houses which should help locale people buy local homes.
Additionally, the developer will eventually pay £72,000 to Taff's Well primary school and, hopefully, the development will generate several new children for local schools, attracting further funding from the Council.
Our opponents, inexplicably, have opposed the development! We think they are seriously out-of-touch with the reality of modern Taff's Well.
AIR QUALITY IN NANTGARW
Last year the Council established an Air Quality Monitoring Zone around Heol Y Gors and Graig View in Tawelfryn. The problem is not serious but relates to Nitrogen Dioxide from cars pulling away from the lights.
Environmental Health are presently gathering monitoring data and will have to, by Law, develop a plan to improve the quality of air in the viciniy.
Adrian said "I'm not sure exactly what the Council can do but they MUST address the problem. Its not an immediate problem but it may be exacerbating pre-existing breathing conditions for some residents. If they have concerns they should raise them with their Doctor - Environmantal Health should already have advised local Doctors of the extent of the problem.
Once the Council publishes the final data - in the Summer of 2008 - I'll be negotiating on behalf of residents to ensure the situation is improved.
