The site for a proposed coal bed methane exploration borehole  at Bryntywod near Llangyfelach, photographed this morning during a visit by members of Swansea Council’s planning committee.

The application by UK Methane was approved unanimously (DrillOrDrop report) despite arguments by opponents that the site was unsuitable.
