Residents,hoteliers, tourists,canoists take a lovely trip along the river to the accompaniment of squealing animals being slaughtered.........<br /> What a slap in the face for the town. Money and profits come before community.<br />Note the beast markets in Ruthin and Welshpool are not in the town, why would we want an abattoir in ours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125418539113091547.post-4559239899806518152015-06-04T07:50:49.447+01:002015-06-04T07:50:49.447+01:00Well, what a coincidence and how lucky we all are,...Well, what a coincidence and how lucky we all are, Pickstock Construction, who are working with J Ross on the former Sainsbury supermarket, also build abattoirs.

The old printworks site, which they are already committed to in principle, would be ideal. Easy access, A5, weak council desperate for occupation, etcetera, and so therefore a likely troublefree change of use. <br /><br />And, of course, with a slaughterhouse and raw meat packing plant, Messers Skates and Davies have got their "much needed" employment: 24/7 despatching and dressing of cattle, sheep, pigs, so lots of desirable jobs for the shoals of unemployed that litter Llangollen's lanes. The nearby residents will just have to put up with the constant cacophony of distressed beasts. After all, they've lived with the dust and noise from the months of construction - this is important for the town, sorry, important for the politicians. And it will be nice for the passing tourists to point out to their friends and family, "That's where they kill the animals we eat for our meals". Not exactly what we want to contemplate as the economic jewel in the town's crown, is it?<br /><br />And so time passes, the abattoir gets a minor rural industries award and the managing director says in his acceptance speech how they couldn't have found a better place than Llangollen. Messers Skates and Davies applaud furiously, glance at each other and for a quickly-dismissed moment wonder whether this was Sainsbury's plan all along, never a supermarket, always an abattoir ...<br /><br />The Skates & Davies Much Needed Slaughterhouse, coming next year to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
