Sorry folks, Merthyr Tydfil Housing have pulled out, so Merthyr Tydfil Council are now looking for new people to take their place, they still intend to build on the site. M.

Diane, Thanks for that. Its good to know that adding our names and all the opposition to these terrible plans have made a difference. I hope the people do get the place back to the way it should be but why are these vandals allowed to rule??? are they from outside the area or are they the sons and daughters of the people in the area? I find it terrible that the so many youth seem not to have respect for anything. Pat x

Lets hope the community now set about putting the playground back to it's former glory. If it's used then vandals won't be inclined to touch it hopefully. Diane
