The Cabin must be more than a political football

Nine months ago we stressed the need to keep a youth activity centre in Cwmgwrach and later to publish the report which was the ostensible reason for keeping the Cabin closed.

Labour was largely helped to its capture of Blaengwrach by harnessing the grievances of local families. It should not be left to legal action by the Friends of the Cabin to ensure the restoration of facilities.

The leader of Neath Port Talbot Council has recently publicly subscribed to an extension of the scrutiny facility of the council. Maybe the first subject should be an examination of provision for young people out-of-hours, throughout the borough.
