Carmarthenshire County Council and Meryl Gravell's efforts to keep the developer Clive Hughes and his proposed Biomass plant away from the vicinity of Ffos Las Racecourse and the horsey set may have been in vain. (Believe me, the sudden refusal after two recommendations for approval had nothing to do with resident's worries or some fanciful Assembly energy 'route map')
I was amused (but I expect Councillor Gravell wasn't) to see that he has now said he will offer the site to the Welsh Assembly for a new prison - and may also build a biomass plant as there will then be 'somewhere for the heat to go'. I am 'on the fence' when it comes to alternative energy as I am with the siting of such a plant, but what I am not on the fence about is our distinctly dodgy planning system.
Another site I could suggest would be the Council's very own County Hall on Jail Hill (pictured) as it was originally built as a prison and of course some of it's future inmates are already in situ!
