Plaid Cymru councillors lead the opposition to the planning application to build on a greenfield site at Mwyndy Cross. Many protestors attended the meeting in Clydach Vale where they heard all the Labour cabinet members support the application which would have led to the loss of a large area of countryside and brought more traffic chaos to Talbot Green.

Plaid Assembly member, Owen John Thomas pointed out, there is an area ready for development and prepared at a cost to taxpayers of £10 million at Coed Ely.
