SCORES of Caerau residents attended a meeting to discuss their concerns about a proposed landfill site in the area.
\nResidents were urged by a councillor to write letters to a variety of organisations to put their objection on record at the meeting on Thursday.
\nA planning application has been submitted to the Vale of Glamorgan Council on behalf of Emear Limited to fill the old brickwork site with \u2018inert waste\u2019 to reconnect the two sides of Caerau Wood.
\nThe waste would not decompose and is not biologically or chemically reactive. Residents at the meeting were firmly against the use of Cwrt-Yr-Ala road for access, with most also expressing concern at the nature of the site itself.
\nFairwater councillor and Cardiff West AM candidate Neil McEvoy, who organised the meeting at Ysgol Nant Caerau, said: \u201cThese campaigns have been shown to work in the past.
\n\u201cI would urge residents to object to the Vale of Glamorgan directly and also put pressure on Cardiff City Council to oppose the plan.\u201d
\nMr McEvoy also described the transport report which accompanied the planning application as “ridiculous”.
\nHe argued that the automatic traffic counter was placed past the turning for Heritage Drive and was not representative of the real levels of traffic on Cwrt-Yr-Ala road.
