A cat rescue centre tucked away in the hills of Neath Port Talbot became the most famous in Wales last summer – but for all the wrong reasons. Three were found mauled to death, four were found caged and alive in a field behind the sanctuary, while three others are still missing but presumed dead.

Members of public sector Unison working in the sterilisation and disinfection units and the x-ray departments at Morriston, Singleton, Neath Port Talbot and Princess of Wales hospitals have voted in favour of strike action. Union members say the action, by band 2 assistant technical officers in the units, will “seriously disrupt” non-emergency surgery and follows a dispute with employers Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board.
