      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Lisa Price, Aberdare, Mid-Glam, United Kingdom<p>Hirwaun Y.M.C.A was such a big part of my teenage years, I met most of my friends there and have so many happy memories of my time spent there.  When my Son was a toddler I took him to Play Group there.  Only a few years ago I found myself back there again using the Computer Room.  So I would hate to think that the Y.M. may not be around for my Grandson to enjoy.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs Mair Burke, Aberdare, RCT, United Kingdom<p>I think the council shouldnt shut down the Y.M.C.A in Hirwaun because its been part of the Hirwaun community for so long, and help so many children, young people and adults who not only live in Hirwaun but the surounding areas, it will be greatly missed if closed, i went to the Y.M when i was a teenager my children use the Y.M but sadly if it closed my grandson wont be able to use the Y.M which would be a great shame, so please keep our Y.M.C.A open</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[miss audra williams, hirwaun, rhondda cynon taff, United Kingdom<p>The YMCA in Hirwaun is a valuable resource for all members of the community, from babies in the creche, children and teenagers who attend the after school clubs, youth club and play schemes, right through to the adults who participate in lessons, activities and courses. Without the YMCA and the service it offers to the community we will lose a special and important place.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Jon Evans, Cwmbach, Rhondda Cynon Taff, United Kingdom<p>I grew up in Hirwaun and it needs a venue for young people to go.<br />
As a youth and community worker I have seen over 30 youth centers closed throughout RCT in the last year with youth provision moving into schools, this doesn&#039;t work, it excludes those who have been excluded from school, these are the very people who need somewhere to go and have role models to follow. Closing the YMCA would be a detriment to Hirwaun and would result in increased anti social behavior, and who could blame them...</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Miss Samantha Rowe, Merthyr Tydfil, Mid Glamorgan, United Kingdom<p>I used to go to the YMCA when I was younger and the workers there are lovely and treat everyone equally, I also had the opportunity to do things that I thought I would never do and thanks to YMCA I was able to do them. They also helped me build my confidence around other people which I believe is very important.</p>]]></description>
