EXCLUSIVE: Residents of Penrhos Polish Village are being forced to movePolish residents whose families fled to Wales during the Second World War have pleaded to save their bungalows from being demolished in place of new green homes.

They have begged council planners to rethink their decision to allow developers ClwydAlyn Housing to replace the buildings and build 'affordable' new homes in their place. Members of these families still live there, including 90-year-old Maria Owsianka but now face having to move again 74 years after they first arrived following a council vote to go ahead with new re-development plans

She feared under the plans 'there will be no village life at all because there will be nowhere for people to meet.' 'I have been here 20 years. It's ideal, it's a lovely place. Penrhos has a nice community spirit, we are all friendly here.' Maria Kosiba , 62, a retired manicurist whose late mother was evacuated to Scotland during the war, urged the developers: 'Please don't destroy our village.
