What the petition asks
Bron Afon have left pensioners in the dark about future plans for their complex home and 3 others in the Torfaen area. Three of the 4 complexes will be knocked down forcing the 75 elderly people to move to flats out of their hometown and away from family and friends. Please help to save their homes
Bron Afon have inflicted stress and anxiety on the residents for the past 2 years, residents have had to fight to be told what their future may entaile but Bron Afon have come up short each time, pushing back dates on when they will finally make their decision. They were told they would have their final decision made by October 2018 but now it won't be until the new year. Local Councillor Sue Malson, Nick Thomas-Symon MP, Anthony Hunt (Labour) and Lynne Neagle AM all fully support the residents.
