>The full statement provided by the family reads: “Our family made Cwmparc our home about a year ago and we have enjoyed settling our children in such a beautiful, welcoming community. Our property borders the forestry and our private entrance has been abused in a way that has left us no choice but to consult with authorities and advisers over what we should do.
>”Our home and family were being subjected to illegal parking, dangerous driving (a child nearly knocked over), out-of-control dogs, dog-fouling, people urinating, aggression, theft, drugs, and air rifles. The issues continued including torches being shone through the children’s bedroom at night. A decision was made that we needed to put security gates at our home to keep our children safe.
>”We want to thank NRW, Welsh Water, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, and the council for the time they have given to the issue and their support and approvals throughout. We want to thank the police who work tirelessly to keep everyone safe and who have provided reassurance to our family after several serious threats have been made.

>”There is also an unused allotment to the right where an access gate could be installed and our family would personally help the community clear this to give access to the mountain provided we have the necessary consent. Thank you to those of you who have shown kindness and understanding towards the difficult situation we find ourselves in. Your kind words as fellow parents have motivated us to keep our faith in our community and help find an alternative solution which meets the needs of everyone concerned. We will engage directly with authorities in working on an alternative solution and ask the community to please direct any questions or suggestions you may have through the relevant official channels.”
The family is even offering to help construct a new entrance to the path, people protesting about this are making a mountain out of a molehill. I too wouldn’t want strangers going through my property if I had young kids.
This is way more than fair on the part of the home owners. They have no obligation to build a path but they are doing it anyway and they are entitled to privacy and safety on their property.
Heaven forbid you want privacy on your own property.
They are being far more considerate and accommodating than I would be.
Their own land, have received planning and all the requisite permissions to build the gate, as far as I’m concerned, anyone with a problem can fuck off and go whistle.
