small victory for some greater loss for others.

So the result is in.
The gwynfa hostel has been approved, although in reality it was never going to be prevented as powys are committed to these ventures by their paymasters in cardiff and to money saving by offloading properties they no longer utilise.
David Peters on his blog heralds it as a victory against harold nichols tories and their xenophobia but also then points out that a similar venture in llandod failed due in large to its mis management.
well this is exactly what some of the local residents who are long term powys tax payers have been concerned about.
do mid wales haousing association have authority to turf people out if they are unruly,if this scenario happens where will they then go,will they be intergrated into the community by taking accomadation with local landlords such as harold nichols.
we all know that more will be known in time but as large numbers of local residents areelderly and infirm will it affect their immediate quality of life.
