Save 'The Mid' (Tonypandy) for Community Use NOT Housing Development.

We, the undersigned, believe the Mid Rhondda Athletic Field, known locally as 'the Track' should be preserved and utilised for use by our local community. This is an iconic site that has played a central role in Tonypandy and the Rhondda's history. It was gifted to the local authority back in 1931 with strict covenants in place to ensure it could only ever be used for educational purposes. There are already enough housing developments in the immediate area and we believe that the destruction of another green space would be detrimental to the general welfare of all sections of the community. More housing would only increase the amount of traffic within the vicinty and make walking to school even more difficult for children and parents than it already is. Many people have already offered suggestions as to how the ground could be preserved and adapted as a vibrant community resource. Help us persuade the local authority that this is the way forward.
