AWAITING PLASTIC PIPE AND COASTAL REALIGNMENT UTTER RUBBISH TRY FOR ONE YEAR FAIL THEN HIS WILL JUSTIFY ABANDONMENT AND ALL THAT THAT ENTAILS. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SSSI.

Freshwater West

In preparation for the filming on Freshwater West beach the National Trust demolished an essential part of the Grade 2 Listed Structure which had functioned for two hundred years since the scheme was awarded the Gold Medal for Agriculture by the Royal Society in 1800

The medal was awarded to John Mirehouse then agent to John Campbell of Stackpole.

Castlemartin Corse was a unique SSSI Calcareous Water Meadow, now due to the demolition it is becoming a Reed Bed Alder Carr one of many in Wales.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the National Trust promised to replace the structure after filming for which they were paid the total sum of £3.5 million.

They did not replace the structure but have gradually removed all traces from the beach, only after a long campaign and a Monitor Officer report with the benefit of Freedom of Information Requests they propose to “site a plastic pipe down the beach to see what happens before they realign the coast.”.

Anyone who knows the surf the storm beach and rapid changes in the distribution of the sand one day six feet deep next day gone to reappear days later will understand the futility of the plans agreed by the National Trust Pembrokeshire National Park Pembrokeshire County council and 21C Pembroke.

They made a mistake they broke their promises now they must not continue in denial to save face.

Freshwater West is precious and very vulnerable, the land behind was a functioning system which balanced conservation and agriculture, for the benefit of both until the National Trust ceased maintenance of the drainage to “return it to how God intended”.

Wales Assembly Government Natural Resources Minister

When I Correspond with the minister we expect the Minister to reply,you cannot hide behind Rhodri Kelly there is a clear dichotomy between a strict interpretation of the law and political direction
Concerns 
Grant to Pembrokeshire Coast Forum dominated by commercial exploitation of very precious assets,short term shamefull claptrap.
Grant to NT for Castlemartin Peninsula
To NT in partnership with 21c both guilty of disastrous harmful environmental acts. continuing degradation of the SSSIs in their care.
21c a body set up to attract grants with a proven record of wasting them , a record of using legal threats, to local activists and of taking on board as their own projects and taking grants  for which local societies have already completed.
National Trust legal bullying of concerned members.
South Pembrokeshire estuaries
All degraded all polluted by inaction of PCC PCNP NT all under the stewardship of one NRW employee who we thought had been disciplined
The domination by funding from the Refinery by their grant officer to further the degradation by him one NRW employee and one NT employee.
All this has been documented, with many FOI requests and monitor officer reports
You are ultimately responsible and should take this seriously

Valero Smoke

At this time of year we can see the plumes from the refineries and power station,we have very many dated photographs.
We also have the timed output from our solar panels 3.5 kw down to 150 watts when the wind is blowing the plumes overhead.
