🚨 Local Update: Sewage System Woes in Cardiff Park! 🚨
Residents of Cardiff, particularly those near Hailey Park, are facing delays in ongoing sewage system work due to unexpected flooding. Welsh Water’s ambitious plans for a new pumping station have hit a snag as water damage halted the tunnelling project. 🌊🚧
Approved by Cardiff council back in 2022, the project has stirred controversy over potential negative effects, like odours and noise, impacting the beloved green space in Llandaff North. Local campaigners voiced environmental concerns, but couldn’t overturn the approval. 🔊
Recently, work took a backseat when flooding damaged the tunnel-boring machine. Unfortunately, this means more delays, with the expected timeline now pushed back to January 2026, taking around seven months to wrap up. Welsh Water aims to keep everyone updated, ensuring safety comes first. ⚠️🛠️
Local community members are understandably frustrated, having raised funds for a legal fight they ultimately lost in 2023. Welsh Water promises landscaping efforts to reduce the visual and environmental footprint of the project, acknowledging the community’s ongoing concerns over biodiversity and green space access. 🌿
Stay tuned for more updates, and thanks for your patience, Cardiff! Let’s hope for a smoother path ahead. 💬
