Pipeline work drags on


Work started on crossing the Tawe valley with the Milford-terminated gas pipeline last November. Nine months later, the valley is still disfigured, favourite walks are still blocked and people attending acoustic sessions at the Pontardawe Festival this coming weekend are liable to have their enjoyment ruined by the sound of heavy plant.

Now there is the theoretical possibility of a second gas pipeline across Wales. The planners are said to be concerned not to follow the same route as the first, for security reasons, but it is hard to see how it can avoid crossing Neath Port Talbot county borough on its route from Milford Haven to a convenient point in England.

The rain did its best to ruin the festival but pipeline was merely a distraction. It was a thumping festival though a challenge. I hope more people will brave the mud next year!
