The town of Blaenavon in South Wales is facing an unusual problem with sheep roaming freely, causing disturbances such as blocking roads and eating garden flowers. This situation has arisen due to vandalism that has damaged fences, allowing the sheep to escape from nearby fields. Local councillors, including Nick Horler and Janet Jones, have voiced concerns about the welfare of the animals and the safety of the community. They are suggesting the reinstatement of a shepherd to manage the sheep effectively. Additionally, Mandy Owen, another councillor, proposed the creation of a ranger role to oversee the management of common land and straying livestock. The council's efforts to address these issues are contingent on funding from partner organizations. Blaenavon, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has historical significance from the industrial revolution and is now a popular tourist destination at the foot of the Brecon Beacons.
