Wasted on me, I'm afraid.

We may be moving back to the Penderyn area in the nearish future. Handy for Merthyr/Aberdare for errands and the train into Cardiff on the upgraded Valley Lines. The Welsh Government have done reasonably well with investment, with the upgraded A465 as well, and there's been some good (if slow burning) stuff on industry from central government. But the Barnett Formula needs to be tweaked considerable as well.

Christ. 19 trees are to be cut down. In a cemetery. I suppose they've got to keep up the impetus of "HS2 destroys ancient woodland" stories.

The cemetery is made to sound like it's the Knoydart Peninsula, when it's actually next to the M27. There is though a lot of green land nearby. I think the wildlife will largely survive.

What gets me with this stuff is the lack of any sense of balance. The council says it'll make other nature improvements. That is the way to go with this stuff, instead of having every group of residents trying to block every sensible improvement.

Here's a detailed examination of regulations and the proposed changes. Only joking. It's impossible to tell whether Lexit Larry Elliott has even read the speech.
