The motion

That this House remembers the successful campaign led by the people of the Gwendraeth Fach valley against the flooding of their communities and prime agricultural land by Swansea Water Corporation; notes that the proposals would have led to the drowning of several thriving Welsh language communities; further notes that these communities continue to be strong Welsh speaking today; pays tribute to the peaceful resistance of the people of Llangyndeyrn and surrounding communities; and further notes that the campaign to save the valley is an inspiration to future generations who fight to protect the land and natural resources of Wales from exploitation.
