Anger over Mynydd y Gwair windfarm plan

Plans for a controversial wind farm at a beauty spot above Swansea go before councillors on Thursday.

There has been considerable local opposition to the proposals at Mynydd y Gwair in Felindre, with claims turbines will spoil the area's natural beauty.

Farmer Glyn Morgan, chair of Save Our Common Environment (Soce), tells Gilbert John that the plans could cost sheep farmers their livelihoods.

Last year Appeal Court judges in London overturned an earlier decision allowing a 19-turbine plan.

Energy firm RWE N-Power Renewables has resubmitted its proposal and reduced the turbine numbers to 16.
