Man left furious as council tries to buy over his land to make cycle path

A smallholder has been left furious as his local council bids to make a compulsory order of his land to turn it into a cycle path.

Robert Moore, from Towy Valley, said it is the third time his family has faced the loss of land as a result of Carmarthenshire Council. The local authority has made the strip of land close to the Rovery Towy in the White Mill the subject of a compulsory purchase order (CPO) - which allows councils to acquire land without the consent of the owner.

But dismayed Mr Moore has insisted "enough is enough" in his objection to the plans. As reported by Wales Online, the 64-year-old said: "Our land has been taken twice before so that the community benefits while we suffer."
