The villagers won a fight to tear down a huge fence that blocked the view of a Welsh national park.
The 6 -foot steel fence is 200 meters long and costs £ 40,000, despite the guided work council, which does not give the residents an announcement.
But now after weeks of complaints, the officials have agreed to spend £ 20,000 down to tear it down.
The road structure blocks the view of the mountains and valleys in Wales’ Brecon Beacons National Park (now known as Bannau Brycheiniog) and near the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The villagers described the fence made of galvanized steel with sharp spikes at the top, as “disgusting” and criticized the advice for a lack of consultation.
Officials said it had been built along the Pwll du Road, which has been blocked for traffic for five years because she feared that she could collapse.
Clive Thomas, a resident, said: “It’s just a eyesore. If the sun is on it and everything, it just looks out of place.”
Simon Elliott, who also lives in the village, added: “There was no advice with anyone. The fence was recorded in the region without understanding.
“All it took was a low fence to stop cattle or people who went over the edge into the quarry.”
The Monmouthshire County Council has agreed to remove the fence and replace it with a shorter structure that “insert” into the area.
Simon Howarth, an independent city council, said he was satisfied with the decision of the council, but added: “We shouldn’t have come here” and claimed that the big bills could have been avoided.
He said: “Overall, we should have started there, but around 50,000 to 70,000 pounds worse.”
A spokesman for the council said: “After a positive session, the local community and the council approved the proposal to reduce the height of the back limit of the Palisad fences, by Stock -ADD -D) the revelations and columns with a suitable color to mix into the landscape.”
