| Afon Cegin Clean-up
MaesG youngsters got stuck in this month
to clear rubbish from our local river. A big "well done"
from MATRA to all concerned. Also to the adults who provided
safety cover & supervision: Dafydd, Chris, Alun, Robbie
& to the staff of the Environment Agency & Keep Wales
Tidy.
The river & woods are a tremendous
resource for this community; an area for children to play &
for all to enjoy some contact with nature. Fly-tipping in the
area is vandalism - the spoiling of our common property. The
Environment Agency have earmarked Afon Cegin as a flagship project
for Wales & have made it clear that they will prosecute
in every case were someone is reported for unauthorised dumping.
Covert cameras have recently been used with great success in
the Conwy area, resulting in fines of £2,000+. The E.A.
have emphasised that, from now, fly-tippers will need very deep
pockets!
The Project is ongoing & forms part
of the overall environmental programme for the estate.
