Trenos Crossing
RCT Liberal Democrats are alarmed to hear that, despite costing a massive £5.1 million, the ramps on the new bridge at Trenos are not “access for all” compliant! Community Councillor Neil Feist was only made aware of this shocking news recently.
A clarification by Network Rail stated that "The ramps are compliant Bridleway ramps and are not access for all compliant".
In an email sent out by Neil he said that "Trenos has had a massive amount of public money spent on it and I am very concerned that it will not be access for all compliant". He fully intends to continue on the working group and committee for Trenos and Ewenny in order to find a way forward.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council - council tax increases
Another round of above inflation Council Tax rises for residents by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council with a massive 4.7% increase!
In the Llanharan area - Llanharan Community Council have increased their bit of the tax by an eye watering 6%!
RCT Liberal Democrat Neil Feist, Community Councillor for Llanharan ward, was the only councillor to vote against this increase for local people.
With cuts to the winter fuel allowance for pensioners and hard working families trying to make ends meet - these increases are simply not right.
It's bad for residents and it’s bad for the local economy too.
And yet, despite Council Tax increases, services have decreased………
Voicing concerns and frustrations from a number of local residents in the Llanharan area, Community Councillor Neil Feist said “We have a real issue with overflowing public litter bins and general rubbish in the area. Our Council Tax has gone up again and yet things are getting much worse. It’s a great place to live but this issue needs to be addressed”.
RCT Liberal Democrats are calling on Rhondda Cynon Taff Borough Council to guarantee that litter and dog waste bins are emptied a lot more often.
