:00:27. > :00:31.but the process -- our plans well, yes. She could be forced out soon.
:00:31. > :00:36.Whether I can persuade the other 41 people to do so, I don't know at

:00:46. > :00:56.because people wanted. But this is a fight against some big forces.

:01:11. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:17.important thing in her life after It is my home, it's not a house,
:01:17. > :01:23.it's my home and I feel I have settled down here in the last seven
:01:23. > :01:29.years and I really don't want to leave. When I bought this house I
:01:29. > :01:33.thought I would live here until the day I died. This is my home, in
:01:33. > :01:38.between the four walls, I go out when I need shopping, but I don't
:01:38. > :01:47.go out much. I like to sit and read and I spend most of my time in my
:01:47. > :01:51.home. But this home is under threat. A developer wants to buy No 6 and
:01:51. > :01:55.the 11 others in Glyndwr Road to demolish them. I have spent a lot
:01:55. > :01:59.of money on it because it needed it when I came here. It was very run-
:01:59. > :02:05.down. I have done everything to it, and put a conservatory in the back
:02:05. > :02:09.and got new windows and doors and everything has been re done. It is
:02:09. > :02:16.not my house, in a way, it is my home and I'm very attached to it
:02:16. > :02:19.and I don't want to move. Ceredigion County Council have for
:02:19. > :02:23.years wanted to sell off this land to someone who would bring better
:02:23. > :02:33.car parking and shopping. So residents of Glyndwr Road began to
:02:33. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:37.get some attention. Two years ago I had a visit from two people from
:02:37. > :02:41.Alexander's estate agents and they said that they were looking for a
:02:41. > :02:46.building company and would build a multi-storey car park and a big
:02:47. > :02:49.development at the back. They bought a couple of pictures and
:02:49. > :02:55.they were of skyscrapers and they said something like that would be
:02:55. > :02:57.going in the back. Last month, after a competitive bidding process,
:02:57. > :03:00.the county council announced that a developer called Chelverton had
:03:00. > :03:04.been appointed. Their plans show a retail scheme that involves the
:03:04. > :03:14.demolition of Glyndwr Road. The company say they want to bring in a
:03:14. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:21.When I bought a home I knew there would be planning permission in the
:03:21. > :03:25.street and there would be a development, but it was supposed to
:03:25. > :03:30.be only up to the wall. They no wonder all the homes and houses in
:03:30. > :03:33.the street. -- they now want to all the homes and houses in the street.
:03:33. > :03:37.Next door at Number Five, Val and John Evans are doing up their house.
:03:37. > :03:44.After a period of living away, they say they're coming back to live
:03:44. > :03:51.here permanently. We live here because it is on the Flat,
:03:51. > :03:57.convenient, we are getting elderly. It is a lovely location here. Three
:03:57. > :04:02.big bedrooms, two beautiful rooms, large garden, quiet, parking, near
:04:02. > :04:12.the shops, rail station, bus station, taxes. What more do you
:04:12. > :04:16.want? There had been rumours, and we had been down to the council
:04:16. > :04:20.offices and into the council offices here and we have looked at
:04:20. > :04:27.the maps and we were told it was just the car park being redeveloped.
:04:27. > :04:29.We were quite happy with that. two years, estate agents
:04:29. > :04:33.Alexander's have been meeting with Glyndwr Road's home owners asking
:04:33. > :04:43.if they'd sell up for a premium. Val and John, Enid and another home
:04:43. > :04:43.
:04:43. > :04:47.owner have refused to sign. Nine houses have signed out of the 12. I
:04:47. > :04:53.was disappointed when they signed, but it is up to them, but for up
:04:53. > :05:02.the others, they are just houses to some people. They have got other
:05:02. > :05:05.The developers and the estate agents have had several meetings
:05:05. > :05:10.with the residents. Enid only went to the first one, not wanting to
:05:10. > :05:15.get drawn into negotiations. But she still wanted to know why her
:05:15. > :05:25.street was now part of the plan. Her sister Bethan advised her to go
:05:25. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:31.to the local newspaper, the Cambrian News. Although I accuse
:05:31. > :05:36.her of having her head in the sand, but because of the secrecy and
:05:36. > :05:43.confidentiality clause in the agreement, but it is her fight and
:05:43. > :05:47.I am here as moral support and to back her. In getting another place
:05:47. > :05:52.within Aberystwyth itself, that is going to be very difficult in her
:05:52. > :05:55.financial situation. The idle threats of the compulsory purchase
:05:55. > :06:01.are fretting. The you never know if it will come through and if it does,
:06:01. > :06:03.what are they going to do. And also the value. If Enid refuses to sell,
:06:03. > :06:07.the developers could ask the council to carry out a compulsory
:06:07. > :06:13.purchase order, or CPO, so it can be demolished. But the full council
:06:13. > :06:22.would have to vote on that. Enid lives quite close to her daughter
:06:22. > :06:28.Eleri and looks after the grandchildren when she's working.
:06:28. > :06:34.Those top two, those are my little granddaughters. What does she think
:06:34. > :06:41.about all this? It worries her as well, thinking, where is my mum
:06:41. > :06:50.going to go? It has brought a lot of strain on to us. It has bought a
:06:50. > :06:56.lot of worry on to her. I am very worried about their at the moment.
:06:56. > :06:59.Enid has a camera to monitor callers. She's had it since she
:06:59. > :07:04.moved in but says she's relied on it heavily since the local estate
:07:04. > :07:09.agents have been wanting to speak to her. They just don't take no for
:07:09. > :07:14.an answer. That is how I feel they were being. They were later visits,
:07:14. > :07:17.after 6 o'clock at night, when they would lead the office and just come
:07:17. > :07:21.in and say we needed to talk to again and I asked them several
:07:21. > :07:24.times if they could come back when I have someone in the house, but
:07:24. > :07:28.they weren't interested. They just wanted to talk to me. They said
:07:28. > :07:32.that they wanted their houses and if I wouldn't signed out that the
:07:32. > :07:40.compulsory purchase order would come in, which is very stressful,
:07:40. > :07:43.because if they do, Weder why go? - - way do I go? What's really
:07:43. > :07:49.annoyed the family is that the estate agent had tried contacting
:07:49. > :07:56.Enid through her daughter Eleri on Facebook. An employee at Alexanders
:07:56. > :08:00.sent her an email: Hey, I've been asked to e-mail you read my mum's
:08:00. > :08:04.house. He was wondering if I could speech about options. It is getting
:08:04. > :08:07.to decision time and I'm not sure he's made it clearer now. Maybe if
:08:07. > :08:15.he explains everything to you as well, he can come to see you, or
:08:15. > :08:19.you can see him. It was sent to me on Facebook or, asking me to going
:08:19. > :08:24.to discuss wife situation, and I don't think I should have been
:08:24. > :08:31.approach about it are told that --, to discuss my mum's situation. It
:08:31. > :08:34.is not my house to have a saying. When Local Assembly Member Elin
:08:34. > :08:36.Jones saw the press coverage, she issued a statement saying she would
:08:36. > :08:43.not support the council's use of compulsory purchase orders. Today
:08:43. > :08:47.she's come to see Enid in person. You wouldn't have any objection to
:08:47. > :08:53.a building of a supermarket or anything. It has been on the cards
:08:53. > :08:57.for a long time. People do support the idea of some retail development
:08:57. > :09:02.with car parking and going into town then to make it more
:09:02. > :09:07.attractive to get people into shopping. If I said no, how would
:09:08. > :09:13.they get me out? Would there be a way to get me out. Not without
:09:13. > :09:16.compulsory purchase. It's his only with that they can get me out?
:09:16. > :09:20.Enid's assembly member was shocked when she was shown the email the
:09:21. > :09:25.estate agent sent to her daughter. It is not nice for your daughter to
:09:25. > :09:32.receive that and not nice for them to use informal ways to get you.
:09:32. > :09:35.Thank you very much for coming. Enid has felt as if she is
:09:35. > :09:39.completely left out of this discussion. People in this street
:09:39. > :09:44.and in the area should have been kept fully informed by the council,
:09:44. > :09:48.formally, as to what was happening. And they have had to glean
:09:48. > :09:52.information from different sources, which is not the right way to go
:09:52. > :09:56.about developing and gaining the community's trust. I think they
:09:56. > :10:01.could have been at a better development here. But the council,
:10:01. > :10:05.for whatever reason, chose a large Tesco development that includes the
:10:05. > :10:08.option of taking the road down. There are not many small houses
:10:08. > :10:15.available like this in Aberystwyth, and we should keep them, not
:10:15. > :10:23.demolishing them. Elin Jones leaves promising she'll try to set up a
:10:23. > :10:26.meeting for Enid with council chief executive Bronwen Morgan. She said
:10:26. > :10:31.you'll need a solicitor. Our I don't know how I will pay for it,
:10:31. > :10:34.but I don't know what else to do. We put the allegations made by Enid
:10:34. > :10:40.Jones to Alexander's estate agents but they failed to provide a
:10:40. > :10:42.response. But in a statement to the local newspaper, they said they'd
:10:42. > :10:45.acted professionally throughout, denied claims of harassment and
:10:45. > :10:54.said they'd only sent her daughter the e-mail because Enid herself
:10:54. > :10:57.hadn't been responding to their The shape of Wales's towns and
:10:57. > :11:06.cities has changed radically since the opening near Caerphilly of our
:11:06. > :11:10.first big supermarket, back in 1972. Hooray! And this is Wales's newest
:11:10. > :11:16.supermarket, opening last month in Newport. It's Tesco's 93rd and the
:11:16. > :11:26.biggest yet. Newport already has 27 supermarkets. Still not enough
:11:26. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:32.apparently for these excited shoppers. There is a need for the
:11:32. > :11:37.supermarket. It's only over the road for me. But we thought it
:11:37. > :11:44.would never happen. We have got one in Chepstow, but we came in to look
:11:44. > :11:48.at the new one today. I am a bargain hunter, but by the time I
:11:48. > :11:51.use my petrol, there is no bargain. But that's me. According to our
:11:51. > :11:56.research, there now 168 stores in Wales operated by the big four. And
:11:56. > :11:59.there's more to come. Retail experts Verdict calculate that
:11:59. > :12:03.supermarkets are planning a 20% increase in floorspace in the next
:12:03. > :12:11.few years. In particular, they're expanding into the convenience
:12:11. > :12:15.store sector and they're looking at Machynlleth, for example, where
:12:15. > :12:17.Tesco want to build on the old cattlemarket. The town council's
:12:17. > :12:22.for it, but some others aren't, including a Machynlleth resident
:12:23. > :12:32.who is one of the UK's leading critics of supermarkets. Enid
:12:32. > :12:35.wanted to meet him. Hello, Enid. Nice to meet you. They have been
:12:35. > :12:39.keeping secrets, and every time I saw him, he said he was not allowed
:12:39. > :12:45.to tell me because it was a secret. I said, this is my home, I leave
:12:45. > :12:49.here, should I not be told? This is a constant story. The important
:12:49. > :12:54.information is held back until you have very little time in which to
:12:54. > :13:00.act. And it seems that this is another real democratic deficit,
:13:00. > :13:04.but there is a golf between what the people are entitled to and how
:13:04. > :13:08.the supermarkets are entitled to behave. By moving into these little
:13:08. > :13:15.market towns, all around Wales, it is as if they are trying to
:13:15. > :13:19.complete the picture. I can picture them with a map of Wales and all
:13:19. > :13:24.the bits covered in red, like the British empire used to be, saying
:13:24. > :13:28.this is ours, this is ours. There is a white patch on the map we
:13:28. > :13:33.haven't got, and it is called Aberystwyth, we have to move in
:13:33. > :13:38.there and conquer. The compulsory purchase orders, if they come
:13:38. > :13:44.through, what exactly happens? think it might be worth taking
:13:44. > :13:47.legal advice at this point. Just to find out what the likely
:13:47. > :13:53.timetable is and to find out when they might be likely to introduce
:13:53. > :13:56.such a thing. Thank you very much indeed. Nice to me to an thank you
:13:56. > :14:01.for advice. A lovely to meet you and good luck fighting. Fight them
:14:01. > :14:06.all away. You have to join with other people and get as many people
:14:06. > :14:10.as you can to help them. It opened my eyes to quite a bit of what I
:14:10. > :14:14.need to do, and he said not to fight on your own, you have to have
:14:14. > :14:19.company, and I will do my best to get the people who are opposing to
:14:19. > :14:29.come with me and fight on. The Big Four supermarkets deny their
:14:29. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:36.activities are damaging and say We calculate there are another 27
:14:36. > :14:39.spots in Wales where the Big 4 have tried to put at new store recently,
:14:39. > :14:43.where they have planning applications in or where new stores
:14:43. > :14:47.will open soon. There has been surprisingly little work done on
:14:47. > :14:50.the impact of supermarkets. A recent study by Southampton
:14:50. > :14:57.University found evidence that supermarkets, close to a town
:14:57. > :14:59.centre, can actually boost trade in smaller shops there. They found
:14:59. > :15:05.customers parked at the supermarket and walked into the high street. Of
:15:05. > :15:12.course, the flip side of this is that out of town stores may not be
:15:12. > :15:16.good for town centres, drawing people away. We took Enid to meet
:15:16. > :15:20.someone who agrease with all that. Chris Mackenzie Grieve. He owns a
:15:20. > :15:27.cafe in Aberystwyth and heads the local Chamber of Commerce. He
:15:27. > :15:30.believes a new Tesco will boost the town by increasing foot fall.
:15:30. > :15:35.you think Tesco kos will be good for Aberystwyth What Aberystwyth
:15:35. > :15:40.needed for a long time. What people said for 20 years is that we need
:15:40. > :15:44.better car parking in the town. Somebody like Tescos, whether it's
:15:44. > :15:48.Tescos or Marks & Spencer, doesn't it matter, it brings foot fall into
:15:48. > :15:53.the town. Links in from the car park to town are clearly marked and
:15:53. > :15:59.easy used. All that happens is that people go over to the Morison site
:15:59. > :16:04.and everything moves away from town. Did you realise you would have to
:16:04. > :16:07.demolish my house? I hadn't. We hadn't seen the detail. What we
:16:07. > :16:11.were concerned about is getting a development on there. The way the
:16:11. > :16:15.council positioned that is, they set criteria. That is it. Tescos
:16:15. > :16:21.won on the basis of that criteria. That is it. Nobody has seen the
:16:21. > :16:24.plans. I saw them in the newspaper last night. I didn't realise they
:16:24. > :16:28.were taking the houses away and they needed them for part of the
:16:28. > :16:32.development. Tescos are going to need a big site. I think that is a
:16:32. > :16:36.big enough site. It's a huge site. It has to go through planning.
:16:36. > :16:41.There has to be a public consultation. There is room to
:16:41. > :16:45.manoeuvre and change things. There must be. Aall along Enid has been
:16:45. > :16:48.blaming the climate change Kenneth Clarke and her own representative
:16:48. > :16:53.Aled Davies fr not telling telling her anything about the plans. They
:16:53. > :16:57.said their hands were tide by commercial confidentiality when the
:16:57. > :17:03.bidding process was under way. The winner Chelverton was announced
:17:03. > :17:07.last month by the county council. Did this mean that Aled Davies
:17:07. > :17:14.could tell Enid more. It was time to find out. He agreed to meet us
:17:14. > :17:18.at the town council, because he is a town councilor too. This was the
:17:18. > :17:22.first meeting of any council Enid had ever attended. Further advice
:17:22. > :17:25.on... The town council isn't responsible for the Mill Street
:17:25. > :17:33.Development. Being on the county council, Aled Davies will get to
:17:33. > :17:38.vote on the plans when they come forward. What do you know about the
:17:38. > :17:43.Chelverton thing now? Do you know what is going on. Chelverton is
:17:43. > :17:47.working on behalf of Tescos. Not only wanting to acquire the Mill
:17:47. > :17:52.Street car park they wanted to acquire Glyndwr Road as well, which
:17:52. > :17:57.wasn't part of the original deal. The issue we have here, because
:17:57. > :18:01.they hadn't acquired all the properties, Chelverton's are
:18:01. > :18:07.expecting the county council to help them with compulsory purchase
:18:07. > :18:12.orders. Now, my view on this, it wasn't part of the original remit.
:18:12. > :18:17.That we shouldn't, as a council, be supporting this. Even myself, who
:18:17. > :18:22.is your ward councillor, I have had limited information until about two
:18:22. > :18:25.weeks ago before it was due in front of Cabinet. Only then, then
:18:25. > :18:30.they made it exempt from the public. So I couldn't pass that information
:18:30. > :18:33.on to you. Which is very interesting. Mark Strong feels the
:18:33. > :18:39.county council should have revealed more to the town council. Even it
:18:39. > :18:43.if it was how they were judging the bids. My feeling is they hide
:18:43. > :18:48.behind commercial sensitivity. It's extremely frustrating. The whole
:18:48. > :18:51.manner which the Mill Street development has been dealt with by
:18:51. > :18:56.county council, half the time the town council doesn't find out what
:18:56. > :19:06.is going on. We find out, half the time, in the Cambrian News that the
:19:06. > :19:11.
:19:11. > :19:17.decision has been made. The company choosen by Ceredigion council is
:19:17. > :19:22.Bristol based cheflcheflchefl. They say the council have carried out
:19:22. > :19:26.the selection process quite correctly and accord together
:19:26. > :19:31.European rules things will become more transparent. As part of a land
:19:31. > :19:38.sale we now need to secure a planning consent for that scheme.
:19:38. > :19:43.That is quite separate hurdle that we now need to clear. There will be
:19:43. > :19:50.consultation with the public? part of this process we must engage,
:19:50. > :19:53.first of all, with the council's planning officers, through pre-
:19:53. > :19:57.application discussions. Discuss with them the design, the layout of
:19:58. > :20:01.the development. Once we have a consensus of support from those
:20:01. > :20:09.planning officers, we will then seek to engage with local community
:20:09. > :20:15.groups. Local town council, the chamber of trade. Back at number
:20:15. > :20:23.six, Enid's daughter say the anxiety about the house is taking
:20:23. > :20:30.its toll. It affects her diabetes a lot. He it's not only worrying for
:20:30. > :20:35.her, her family as well. I have lived here seven years. It's on the
:20:35. > :20:40.flat. Close to everywhere. I don't know what complications diabetics
:20:40. > :20:44.will have. If I need to go in a wheelchair some day I'm close to
:20:44. > :20:47.everywhere. That is the reason I bought the house in the first place.
:20:47. > :20:53.The develop verse offered the residents in the street a financial
:20:53. > :20:56.deal which nine think is attractive enough to accept. Chelverton Deeley
:20:56. > :21:02.Freed have offered them aalternative houses on a nearby
:21:02. > :21:08.estate. Enid isn't tempted. It's close to the river. If I were ever
:21:08. > :21:12.to move from here I want to move where I want to go, not where
:21:12. > :21:17.someone else wants me to go. There is enough room for Tescos to be

:21:21. > :21:26.move. People watching it might think, she's just at it. She is
:21:26. > :21:30.trying to drive a hard bargain. Is that the case? Yes. No. No. I think

:21:38. > :21:41.it's my home, I'm staying here. developer and county council point
:21:41. > :21:45.out there will be public consultation over the scheme. It's
:21:45. > :21:48.only hope is that they aren't so attached to their plans they will
:21:48. > :21:56.go through unchanged, whatever anyone else thinks. She has been
:21:56. > :22:03.putting it off, but now it's time to seek legal advice. That Cambrian
:22:03. > :22:09.News article last night indicated that gr may be affected. It didn't
:22:09. > :22:12.say that Glyndwr Road will be affected. Of course, that was a
:22:12. > :22:18.spokesperson on behalf of the authority. It's the authority's
:22:18. > :22:23.decision now whether to proceed with compulsory purchase. OK.
:22:23. > :22:28.Or do they go back to the developers and see whether there is
:22:28. > :22:35.any scope for admendment of the plan. I think we have to find out
:22:35. > :22:40.what the authority's position is in relation to Glyndwr Road. Yeah.
:22:40. > :22:43.Enid is in the dark over whether there is anything she can do to
:22:43. > :22:48.save her street. Perhaps the leader of the county council can cast
:22:48. > :22:51.light on whether Mill Street is a done deal. Right. I was just
:22:51. > :22:55.wondering if you could tell me something about what is going to
:22:55. > :23:00.happen to my home? I haven't received any information at all.
:23:00. > :23:05.Developers have come along and want to expand the site etc. That is
:23:05. > :23:10.whether they want to do that. If they get the support of house
:23:10. > :23:12.householders and of the private owners in the street to take the
:23:12. > :23:20.property, it means they have enhanced facility then in terms of
:23:20. > :23:24.what they are able to develop. Now, I'm surprised that they said to you
:23:24. > :23:28.they would be issues CPO's. Before anybody is able to use compulsory
:23:28. > :23:32.purchase order you have to make the case to the planning authority that
:23:32. > :23:37.it's a requirement of the project to do that. Then the process
:23:37. > :23:40.follows then is that the authority will have to sit in judgment on
:23:40. > :23:44.that. Right. Council Evans was saying that compulsory purchase
:23:44. > :23:49.orders may not be necessary. Enid anyway may not be forced to sell
:23:49. > :23:58.her home. The plan of the selected scheme clearly shows the new store
:23:58. > :24:02.built right on top of Glyndwr Road's houses. It has been
:24:02. > :24:06.mentioned all along? It might be mentioned. It wasn't part of the
:24:06. > :24:11.brief that went out to perspective bidders. Is it not? Not as far as
:24:11. > :24:17.the authority is concerned. We have put the footprint in place and
:24:17. > :24:21.bidders. That map has got a big Tesco and car park over Glyndwr
:24:21. > :24:27.Street? That is their proposals. The Chelverton proposal you said
:24:27. > :24:32.yes to includes Glyndwr Road on that map. That's right. It will go
:24:32. > :24:36.surely. Surely Glyndwr Street has to go? Why do you assume that?
:24:36. > :24:39.on the map. On their proposals. If they do don't have the result they
:24:39. > :24:43.require, in terms of doing that, perhaps they will have to re-scale
:24:43. > :24:49.and look up what they are proposing. This is strange. The council said
:24:49. > :24:52.yes to something and it doesn't know the ultimate shape? I don't
:24:52. > :24:57.think so. What you have to respect is the fact that these developers
:24:57. > :25:01.will have to have their time now to work out, with landowners, they
:25:01. > :25:05.might want to acquire land etc. While the council leader was
:25:05. > :25:08.suggesting the scheme could be amended, what did the developers
:25:08. > :25:12.think? Engagement with local groups will take place before a planning
:25:13. > :25:16.application is smited. Does that mean there is wriggle room and
:25:16. > :25:21.Glyndwr Road may not be in the final scheme? I wouldn't envisage
:25:21. > :25:25.that Glyndwr Road would be excluded from the scheme. We have been
:25:25. > :25:33.selected on a particular project. This project includes the inclusion
:25:33. > :25:43.of 12 houses on Glyndwr Road. Of which nine are controlled by
:25:43. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:07.Now, all Enid can do is wait to the see if people will back her before
:26:07. > :26:13.and during a planning application that's expected in the coming
:26:13. > :26:18.months. As more details have come out, her county councillor Aled
:26:18. > :26:22.Davies is pledge pledging his support. I can guarantee you that I
:26:22. > :26:27.will vote against CPOs. Whether I can persuade the other 41 or the
:26:27. > :26:33.majority not to do so, I don't know at the moment. You will be happy to
:26:33. > :26:40.kick me out of my home? No, I'm not. Are you? Not at all. Do you think
:26:40. > :26:44.others will? Who knows. By now the council and developer have spent
:26:44. > :26:47.money on the scheme. Will councillors vote against it.
:26:47. > :26:51.Unlikely says George Monbiot, because of the way the planning
:26:51. > :26:57.system works in his view. If a council rejects the application,
:26:57. > :27:01.for a supermarket, the supermarket can take it to appeal, if the
:27:01. > :27:04.council lose that is appeal on certain grounds it can be charged
:27:04. > :27:09.enormous amount of money, in terms of legal fees. We are talking
:27:09. > :27:12.hundreds of thousands of pounds. Which is one of the reasons why
:27:12. > :27:17.councils are reluctant to reject applications from big developers.
:27:17. > :27:20.Chelverton are still hoping they can do deals with the final three
:27:20. > :27:25.householders of Glyndwr Road and avoid asking for compulsory
:27:25. > :27:30.purchase orders. They say the whole of Aberystwyth will gain.
:27:30. > :27:34.benefit of bringing a store, such as this, a retail store into a town
:27:34. > :27:39.centre location is to increase the link trip foot fall between the
:27:39. > :27:46.development and the town centre and them to benefit from that spin-off
:27:46. > :27:52.expenditure. Ceredigion council said they provide information to
:27:52. > :27:56.Enid and her neighbour in a letter last year. Neither Enid nor Val and
:27:56. > :28:00.John said they received. It Tesco declined their offer of an
:28:00. > :28:05.interview referring us to the developers. County council
:28:06. > :28:10.officials have offered to meet Enid Jones her solicitor and her
:28:10. > :28:14.Assembly Member. I will fight until there is no breath left in my body.
:28:14. > :28:19.It's my home. I've paid for. It I want to live. There I do not want
:28:19. > :28:24.to move. I'll fight every step of the way. So, it still remains a
