Dear Editor, Ffynone/Cilgwyn Woodland Proejct Balderdash & Piffle! Self-righteous rubbish! For "enhancing woodland" please read "enhancing the facts". If Ms Kate Moore thinks to flannel the public who’ve funded her & her common law husbands purchase of some 300 acres of Wales’ most precious commodity, with abstract concepts, spurious spin, arrogant assertions, false statements and patronising platitudes then she’d better think again.

We, the residents & neighbours of the site along with other community members know the truth and it WILL come out.

One question Ms Moore, regarding future plans and fine intentions for community liaison – they’re always "future", I not, on "growing hearts" part, after 2 years of lost and ignored opportunities -will you have your meetings with the community secretly recorded as previously?

As for Mr York, I wonder whether his work last week with the "growing heart" was a "hobby" visit or paid for out of the public purse or from the £100, 000 already netted by "growing heart" from the sale of clear-felled timber, or met by co-operative directors whose pockets so far have been touched by the financial demand of this project.

We, the general public, courtesy of Forestry Commission Wales’ benefice in our name with our money, are footing the bill. Grants, grants and yet more grants without either legal requirement of "growing heart" to spend profits other than as it pleases, or statutory control over what it does on, and with, the site. Again, courtesy of FCW, it’s "mistake" this time in omitting to make appropriate contractual provision.

Next, Mr York’s barbed but childish comment about hobbies and country living. It must have come straight from someone’s "heart". Anyway living as he does in Leyland, he can’t have much opportunity to work in such a "beautiful valley" and there ponder the wonderous achievements of "growing heart" or more appropriately perhaps – contemplate his own navel.
