Right decision was made

SWANSEA Council made the right decision in approving the Mynydd y Gwair Wind Farm.

The development of renewable energy is essential to our future, to limit the risks of climate change and replace diminishing fossil fuels which are becoming increasingly expensive.

However, campaigners who opposed the wind farm should not simply scapegoat the council and their professional adviser who provided sound legal guidance.

Fortunately, the council were not swayed by the irrational pleas made by two dinosaurs of the previous administration who as experienced councillors must have been aware their position was considered "unreasonable" in legal terms and would simply delay the inevitable and lead to the council incurring unnecessary expenditure.

Such irresponsible behaviour, particularly at a time of economic restraint, would have been unforgivable!
