March 8, 2017

The local planning office is ignoring our concerns about the Vaynor Ward site. Call your local representative today and demand they keep our school facilities within our community borders.

The momentum behind our campaign to protect the Vaynor Ward has become impossible for the council to ignore. Now is the time to turn this energy into action by emailing your local representative and demanding they keep our school within our community boundaries.

5 generations of my family attended Ysgol y Graig,it would take the heart out of the village if a school wasn't here anymore.

The children in Vaynor deserve a new school and also green space to play on - let's hope both can be accommodated - What looks good on a balance sheet fails in comparison when you see how it effects people's lives - Let's hope MTCBC can find a workable solution and it does not just come down to the cheapest option

The new school & an appropriate size playing field must remain in the Cefn community .. a school is the heart of any community & green field space so important for future generation of children's health & well being, the government can't push for improvement in children's physical health & then take away the very thing that promotes that best !

Our village needs a primary school, it is unfair for our children to have to travel to another area to attend school. We have already lost a secondary school let's not lose our primary too.

As much as I believe that every community should have green spaces for sports and recreation, I also believe that a school is at the heart of any community. Ysgol y Graig MUST stay in cefn coed. My son goes to the school and my daughter will go there in years to come, as did their father, aunts, uncles and grand parents. I hope that the council can can up with plans that will allow the village to have the best of both worlds: a top grade educational facility and a green space that all generations within the village can use, however, keeping the school within the village has to be the priority. Cefn Coed has already suffered the effects of losing Vaynor and Penderyn, it can't lose Ysgol y Graig too.

I think the community as a whole understands the importance of education and providing a safe facility for our children. Also the importance of retaining the school in the Vaynor Ward, in the community! Losing the local school would seriously affect the children, businesses and homeowners.
