Hello there and welcome to the “Our Merthyr” Blog page! My name is Marc Evans and I am the owner of this blog. For too long have the residents of Merthyr Tydfil taken the back seat and have been controlled by a contradicting Council who promise to do things but then go behind our backs and deny that any request has been made for an improvement. An example for this who think this is not happening? Ok here it goes. Our roads. The council have told us for years that they are sorting the pothole problems in Merthyr yet there are a number of accidents per year because of them. The council have no desire whatsoever to fix this problem although hopefully with your help we can sort this problem making the town a better place for all of us. Next item I would like to bring up is the facilities in Merthyr. Ok so they are getting better but can some people please back me up in getting things done a little bit faster? I mean things are happening although they are taking two to three years to get small items done. Merthyr Village? Two years in the planning still nothing! Rhydycar Improvement? What Improvement? Finally the retail project up near Gellideg/Twyncarmel is supposed to be finished this summer yet all they seem to have done is move dirt around. We need to get the Council moving a bit faster. That is my aim anyway and with your help we can make a difference. And also I want to try and help make a difference to local communities in Merthyr. Its not just Merthyr. Its Our Merthyr!
