Meanwhile, those interested might like to know that the Bryn y Cwm Forum are making representations about the scheme to Abergavenny Town Council meeting on 29th January at 6.30pm.

Henry Boot the Developers will in coming weeks submit a planning application and then following various consultation processes the matter will eventually come to MCC Planning Committee for a decision (no date yet fixed but probably in a couple of months time); this will present another opportunity to make your voice heard so if you are interested lookout for Notices in the press.

Meanwhile work on the development of a cattle market near Raglan continues

The Cattle Market redevelopment scheme has progressed beyond the public consultation stage and a design has been selected (Option 2 for those who attended consultation events or viewed the designs in the One Stop Shop). The design was selected by a Panel although the Bryn y Cwm Forum representative rejected all the proposals. Councillors have been informed that there will be a further opportunity for comment on the final design. I have only heard negative comments about these plans and personally found them disappointing. However I have not received any comments from Govilon people.

So please, if you do have views or concerns, let me know what you think and/or write direct to the Chief Executive, Councillor Peter Fox, Leader of the Council, or County Councillor Bob Greenland who is responsible for the project.

What happens in Abergavenny has a wider effect upon tourism, commerce and other aspects of the quality of life in the North of the County. So please make your voice heard
