    Quote Message

    "People only ever say bad stuff about Merthyr but today on a snowy Sunday I've watched with interest, how random strangers from our town have volunteered their precious time and 4x4s to transport hospital staff, stranded patients and anyone who needs supplies. People have volunteered time and supplies to the homeless doing their best to help in these freezing temperatures. THIS is Merthyr. Well done people of Merthyr! Proud to be a Merthyr girl today!
