Rob Roberts, MP for Delyn has welcomed the decision by Flintshire County Council planning department to finally give approval to Mynydd Mostyn’s planning application for their popular milk vending machines.
The owners of the Flintshire dairy have been locked in a battle with the council for over a year about the milk vending machines that were installed for the public to use on their land 24 hours a day.
Mr Roberts met with Mr and Mrs Jones, the farm owners in late summer last year and he added his support for the diversification of their business. At the time Mr Roberts provided a letter of support to Mr and Mrs Jones which stated, “I feel that your well run and supported business should be allowed to continue, enforcement activity should cease, and you should be granted a Lawful Development Certificate”.
Earlier this week it was confirmed that the Council have approved the application subject to certain conditions being met.
On hearing the news, Rob said:
“I’m delighted at the news that the county council planners have approved Mr and Mrs Jones’ application, and that the milkshake vending machines can remain in situ.
“Farmers and their ingenuity are the lifeblood of our rural communities and diversification like this can add so much to our local economy.
“I have written to the Jones’ and the county council to congratulate them on a sensible and successful outcome. However, I have urged the council to understand the pressure and stress this type of action causes to businesses and individuals and to do everything in their power to ensure current and future cases are dealt with swiftly and diligently.”
