Be great if this comes to fruition.
Let's hope it comes to fruition.
Wasn't it Merthyr that had grand plans to have film production studios located there, many years ago?
Good fishing in the castle lake
What Merthyr needs is a couple of big factories.
Hoover , Triang , something like thatQuote:

The problem with locating big factories is the lack of proper infrastructure to get raw materials in and finshed articles out, quickly safely and efficiently.Quote:

The days of new large factories in the UK is long gone unless they are heavily automated.Quote:

Nothing like using your position to stop a housing support project for care kids because they’re too near your house.
Is that the ex copper who caught the docks killer Jeffrey gaffoor? He was widely praised for his work on getting the real murdererQuote:

I don't know anything about his current plight but he did a good job in tracking down the real killer , you can't fault that and it doesn't put right what went wrong but there you goQuote:

The point is the council leader didn’t declare he lived on Luther Lane and remove himself from the meeting. Actually emailing the director of social services saying the housing project shouldn’t be located there was akin to a murderer waving around a bloodied knife shouting, “I got the ****er!”Quote:

Thick as ****.
I see Dawn Bowden still sticking the knife in. Can’t stand her. Didnt she vote against free school meals?
Yes. Got slaughtered on Twitter and refused to publish her statement on the platform.Quote:

Perhaps she’d voted against feeding herself too?
She should **** off back to Bristol. Just using Merthyr for her career.Quote:
