LLANGYNDEYRN 1963

Early day motion 642, tabled 29 October 2013 by Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 9 members.

That this House remembers the successful campaign led by the people of the Gwendraeth Fach valley against the flooding of their communities and prime agricultural land by Swansea Water Corporation; notes that the proposals would have led to the drowning of several thriving Welsh language communities; further notes that these communities continue to be strong Welsh speaking today; pays tribute to the peaceful resistance of the people of Llangyndeyrn and surrounding communities; and further notes that the campaign to save the valley is an inspiration to future generations who fight to protect the land and natural resources of Wales from exploitation.
