Can I thank all those people who wrote letters on Gwernyfed's behalf, some I think received brief acknowledgements others more detailed replies. Powys announced a start date of 24 March for the "Statutory Consultation" but have had to put it back to 4 April as they could not complete their preparation in time, need I say more? As soon as we know the date of the public meetingas part of that process we will put it on this site because it is important that as many people attend as possible(even if we cannot all get in the room) because the LA do not believe our communities feel that strongly about the plan so we need to show them how wrong they are. Getting the numbers up even further on this petition will add to that message as especially as we have a paper version running along side for those people who do not use computers. Lets keep fighting. JOHN FITZGERALD
