We are delighted and privileged to report that Landra Whitehouse will be joining our Cutting Edge series in 2014.

Landra is an author and journalist and was a feature writer on the Neath Guardian website earlier this year.   Now Landra wants to go that one mile further with her new column.

We can reveal that Landra is a mother of two grown up children and worked in the legal profession before retiring to write a number of novels under her mother's maiden name.

Landra's controverial views are sure to provoke those in authority who are, as far as Landra is concerned, open to scrutiny.

The environment really matters to Landra who will also discuss issues that she believes will affect our future and that of our children.

In all, her column is likely to make us all a little wiser - see this weekend.
