The first meeting was with Eastman’s, now the owners of the Ex Monsanto Site, WCBC, Cefn Community Council and other interested parties in the Cefn to try and form a working group to get Cefn Mawr on the tourist map. One of the issues that has to be addressed is the fact that Cefn Mawr keeps getting left out, and the sign posting in this picture is a stark example of such. The aqueduct and Ty Mawr Country Park are sign posted but where is Cefn Mawr? Getting our village sign posted is an extremely important issue which we are putting at the forefront with our recommendations for inclusion in the LDP2. This will help transform our community into a tourist destination in its own right. A second meeting was also held the following day where our local community joined in and the LDP2 which can hold out great possibilities for our area was discussed. We thank all those that came along and look forward to seeing every one again. If we are to make a positive difference to our community and get it on the tourist map this will be directly linked into how many of us join in. We are advocating that the Windborne Gate Parking Area be opened up and used as the main central parking area for this section of the WHS. This will give people direct access from the car park to the aqueduct AND the centre of the village with equal walking distance. Secondly we would like to see the road through the ex Monsanto Site opened again linking the centre of the village directly to the aqueduct and we know this is a popular idea with many people. So please come along to our next meeting and join in. We need to show our community wants a better deal that works and works well. Our proposals for the LDP2 can be downloaded from our website under the LDP page, http://plaskynastoncanalgroup.org/ldp2/
