Powys county councillor for Cwm Tawe Uchaf, Cllr David Thomas (Labour), said: “I’d firstly like to say that I welcome the proposed investment in this project and the future ‘re-energising’ of the local economy that it offers.
“However, I am aware of concerns held by the residents impacted by these proposals which I would request the planning committee examine further to satisfy themselves that any adverse impact on these communities can be mitigated.”
Cllr Thomas also wants to see a liaison body be created in the future.
This would allow representatives from GCRE and “nominated local representatives” to discuss and share information on the project with each other.
