Thanks to residents in Aberaman for attending our recent public event, to find out more about the flood alleviation work that is ongoing at Cardiff Road and Maes-y-Ffynon Lane.
Around 25 people dropped into the Sobell Leisure Centre in Aberdare, to speak with officers and the contractor about the scheme that will significantly increase the local drainage network capacity over the year ahead.
Residents are advised that a dedicated webpage for the scheme is in the process of being updated – once this is completed, we’ll issue a further update.
The Welsh Government-funded scheme will include creating a pond area to store rainwater, as well as the installation of new drainage infrastructure. It will provide protection for 56 properties. Further details are included in our previous news item.
Since the scheme started in July 2026, contractor Centregreat Ltd has made steady progress. The main drainage run is largely installed and construction of the attenuation pond is underway. Japanese knotweed treatment is also ongoing, and is expected to be completed by the end of September.
Thanks to the community for your continued cooperation as this important local scheme is delivered.
