Although this is a development in Pontypridd I think it's relevant to all our valley towns.

Ponty at the moment is having a Sainsburys built on old Brown Lennox site and I was wondering if they will be using solar panels on the huge area of roof space, maybe windmills in the car park and/or on roof and what the building will look like.

Surely a council (RCT) should be insisting that any developer who comes to our towns uses the latest technology, employs green policies and where possible uses local, sustainable materials.
