“The points people have made are valid and I have no dispute with them But, and it is a big but, they count for nothing until Labour are voted out of office at all levels in Neath Port Talbot.”

“Brian

I agree with your sentiment ansd have emailed the council over may years and some officilas will no longer reply. The defender of out town was removed when the tribune was tken over IVORPOINT seemed to have a good insite to the mal admisnistration in this town and I even got to speka to him once and I still do not know who he is . There is no superlative gross enough to describe the way council and its staff have behave over the last 50 years
Did you know the leader does not live in the ward that elected him.

He as from up the valleys but lives in Neath, how can this be and he is one of the people who rule this town.”

“jeffery, Port Talbot - OK all understood and appreciate the correction for my part.

The fools who designed the M4 to be "highrise" over Port Talbot - must be related to the fools we have as planners in the Council. When it rains in Port Talbot - which is most of the time you can see plumes of water mist coming over the short hard shoulder walls and falling on the houses and people below - you also see when it wet, grey and cloudy - again a typical scene in Port Talbot - the pollution form the steel works hangs low over Taibach, Cwmavon and Margam - so you have a cocktail of pollutants - now the fools in London, Cardiff and Neath Port Talbot want to make this even worse - how bad do they really want to make it - isn't higher asthma, kidney cancer and repertory illnesses enough for the children and residents of Neath Port Talbot? - do they want people to collapse with breathing difficulty - the next thing you will see is Port Talbot being twinned with Bhopal in India!
Where are the legal eagles here to save the residents in Port Talbot - were's the Welsh or British equivalent to Erin Brockowitz.........”

“Hello Brain Morris

I can spell my name I have had it for over 60 years and it is an unusual spelling. We both forgot in our comments to mention the M4 and the lack of possibillity to cope with extra traffic. and the extra M10 pollution caused by the extra traffic. I do spell things wrong but not my name”

“One final point - it these useless town planners are insistent on developing Margam Park - you will need to spend millions on covering what ever you develop there - a bit like the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff - a cover over the development as the pollution from Corus, and the three Power Stations within Corus and the two biomess wood burning power stations at Margam and the huge gas power station at Baglan Bay and all the pollution from Llandarcy and the huge fire and explosive risk of the BOC oplant at Margam - now there are what's already here - oh and don't forget the "WORLDs LARGEST" wood burning biomess power station that will ADD even MORE pollution - don't think these will be included in any tourist brochure do you..........get real and make your mind up either Port Talbot's industrial, filthy and not a place to visit or you need to do something about the pollution - stopping the worlds largest biomess power station would be a start - then you could say you're making a move in the right direction towards any tourism plan.”

“I totally agree with Jeffrey Perkins - if that's his real name as he cannot spell Jeffery!
This useless council may years ago finished what business there was in town centre and like sheep Swansea has recently done the same for the sake of an ugly looking extended bus - which in London they are trying to scrap.
back to Margam - hasn't this dumb council realised that Margam Park and the tree's there are the "lungs" of this heavy - most polluted town in Wales and any development there makes a bad situation worse. If the useless town planners have nothing better to do why not consider the duty of care that they have (while being paid by the tax payers of Neath Port Talbot) to the residents of Neath Port Talbot and plan to stop the filthy wood burning cancer, death causing biomess power station from being built in Port Talbot Docks.
I know what they are planning for - the closure of Corus and they trying to find other means of tax revenues - well when Corus closes - you can build a HUGE Alton Towers style theme park on the cleared ground there - beautiful sea views and with a bit of luck you will see the sea views if the biomess (I know it's spelt biomass - but biomess fits the description better) wood burning power station is not built there.
Interesting isn't it NONE on the useless town planners actually live in Port Talbot - say's a lot doesn't it .
Leave Margan Park to the deers and activities that already take place there and wreck some other site - there's plenty to wreck up in the Neath valleys - oh forgot you have already done that - shame.”

“Why would anyone want to create a development in the second dirtiest town in the UK . Why woul;d the residents want the extra pollution caused by the extra traffic. Who is going to benefit from this stupid idea. It is a country park , leave it alone more faulty towers than alton towers. What is going to happen when they start to open cast mine the area , who will want to vist a coal tip or are they going to paint them white and claim they are authentic Welsh scenery . The council entered into and agreement with the town center developers many years ago and ripped out the center of the town now we have a fine collection of charity shops banks and estate agents in the main street . The council reject tesco's development on competition rulings but are now prepared to add competion to the beach they have neglected for years”

“Margam Park is the perfect venue for an Alton Towers style setup. It has fantastic transport links as it's right on the M4 and would be a draw from all over South Wales and the West country as far as Reading. I can even see people from Birmingham travelling if the rides were good enough. Oakwood is the only theme park in Wales at the moment, but it is a nightmare to get to.

An Alton Towers sized park would be a massive boost to the economy and would create hundreds of jobs with little impact on the people living near by.”
