It seems there is good news for campaigners fighting the plan to put a civic amenity site on the doorstep of Brooklands Nursing Home.

Mid and West AM for the Party of Wales, Simon Thomas, visited the Brooklands Home, following the news that the local council is to rethink a proposal for a rubbish site next to the care home.

Plaid Cymru Councillor Jon Preston said: "I am delighted that Pembrokeshire County Council's cabinet members have approved a plan to purchase alternative land for the proposed civic amenities site. This has been a long and determined challenge to defend the home environment of very dependent adults.

"From the onset of our opposition to the planning proposal, myself and the campaign group with the support of Plaid Cymru and AM Simon Thomas were resolute in our cause. All too often the convenience of the many is put before the wellbeing of the few. Brooklands may now continue to provide the specialist care that is so vital to many families in our community."

Mid and West AM Simon Thomas added: "As a Plaid Cymru Assembly Member, I want to congratulate the local campaign on its success in getting Pembrokeshire council to think again about their plans for a civic amenity site on the doorstep of the Brooklands Nursing Home. The whole situation has caused a great deal of worry for staff, family and those being cared for at the home."
