🚐 **Caravan Drama in Talywain! 🗣️**
Tensions have risen in the quaint Welsh town of Talywain, Pontypool, as a caravan row unfolds between neighbours. Resident Tony Janes, at the centre of the dispute, has pitched caravans near a beloved football field and housing. 🚧
Local council received 70 objections from residents upset about blocked access to bungalows and the recreation field. However, the council has reached a temporary decision to allow the caravans, setting strict conditions Mr Janes must follow. 📜
Mr Janes, who voices for the travelling community, acknowledged he blocked access to the field but insisted on his right to do so as it’s his land. “I’m glad to provide a temporary home for those in need, offering basics like schooling for kids,” he stated.
The council’s planning officer, Justin Jones, expressed hope for a resolution, emphasising the need for more transit sites for Gypsies and Travellers in the area. 🏞️
As it stands, the site is approved to host only two caravans at a time for three months each, under a detailed management plan. The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by the travelling community and the urgent need for additional caravan sites across Wales. ⏳
