Gower Sand Dredging gets go ahead!!
Over a million tonnes of sand are set to be scooped up near Gower's golden beaches.
Dredgers have been given the green light to resume sucking up parts of Helwick Bank, a couple of miles off Rhossili.
The decision follows a bitter 13-month public inquiry.
Outraged local campaigners say they have been treated with contempt.
But an Assembly Minister has now ruled a company can suck up 150,000 tonnes a year from the area for the next 10 years. It is clear from the views of locals that the dredging will pose a significant impact on the coastline of the Gower.
Surely this ruling would be against the protection of the coastline and have a detrimental effect on the United Kingdoms first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
