ABERMULE NEws FEBRUARY 2019 WISHING ALL OUR READERS GOOD HEALTH AND PROSPERITY IN 2019. ABERMULE COMMUNITIES TOGETHER Thank you to everyone that came to Llandrindod Wells and showed once again how unhappy you are with the decision to build the recycling plant in Abermule. Asbri planning and PCC said they fully engaged with the community, They failed! This community must make a stand against this development on the Abermule Business Park - The battle is not over! We are seen by Powys Councillors to be efficient campaigners for our cause and knowledgeable too. We want to arrange another coach trip for the full council meeting on Thursday, February 21st. This is an important meeting as the virement (money) for building this plant will be discussed and possibly passed. We have been very grateful that AwL Community Council have paid for the coach hire in the past. TAKING OUR PROTEST TO COUNTY HALL Thursday 21st February.

The speed at which PCC progressed their own application, increasing the size of the building very late in the planning stage and complete lack of consultation with the Community has angered residents. PCC / Asbri Planning did the bare minimum to inform the Community of the proposed development, at the meeting on 4th Dec residents were treated with total disrespect. A development of this scale and planned use on the Abermule Business Park is totally unacceptable. The Community Council appreciate the extensive work done by the action group to get this planning decision revoked or the development moved to a more suitable site.
