Dear @DwrCymru.....You are not wanted in Pontsarn. Find a more suitable site for your massive treatment works - not in the middle of a much-loved beauty spot in #MerthyrTydfil @WTSWW @walkthebeacons @RamblersCymru @RSPBCymru @NatResWales @Dawn_Bowden @GeraldJonesLAB @MerthyrCBC

Have you had this letter from Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water? If you have, please let us know - and where you live. If you haven't had it, also let us know. We need an idea of where letters have been sent, to gauge how extensive their consultation efforts have been. Thanks very much. PP.

This incredible footage from Nick Durham flying over Pontsarn is a timely reminder that we need to keep up the fight against plans by @DwrCymru to destroy acres of beautiful and historic countryside with a massive water treatment plant. https://t.co/VCmUTXOkX0

@nationalwales @ITVWales @BBCWales @WalesToday @WalesOnline @MerthyrCBC The fight against @DwrCymru crazy plans to build a massive water treatment plant in Merthyr's beautiful countryside continues... #ProtectPontsarn

Visitors to the Vaynor Show helped send a very clear message to @DwrCymru: "Wish you WEREN"T here!". Postcards addressed to the CEO were filled in with personal messages of objection and posted from Pontsarn. If you would like to send one, please drop us a message.

[Protect Pontsarn @ProtectPontsarn]

Lots of support at the Vaynor Show for the @ProtectPontsarn campaign to stop @DwrCymru destroying the landscape with a massive water treatment plant. Well done, everyone!

[Protect Pontsarn @ProtectPontsarn]

@hermitcrabeggs Great show, all credit to the organisers and those who attended. Lovely to get so much support for the @ProtectPontsarn campaign to stop @DwrCymru ruining the area with a water treatment plant.

[Hermit Crab Eggs 🐣 @hermitcrabeggs]

Vaynor Show is a little affair, but very important in the grand scheme of things. The same's true of all the smaller shows all over the UK.
It's places like this, cheaper, local, gentler, that often foster interests for those who may not easily connect with agriculture.
