Army tackles World Heritage Site eyesores
The Territorial Army’s Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers have helped Wardens remove burnt out cars from a historic mountainside above Blaenavon. The ridge between Blaenavon and Brynmawr had long been blighted by illegally abandoned vehicles. They removed 13 abandoned and burnt out cars. Brecon Beacons National Park Warden Clive Williams and World Heritage Site Warden Alvin Nicholas suggested the site as an excellent army training opportunity whilst making a huge contribution to the visual and environmental quality of the site.
Alvin Nicholas said: "On behalf of Torfaen County Borough Council and our partners in the Brecon Beacons National Park I would like to thank the Army for their tremendous efforts."
The army picked up 13 cars which were a major eyesore
