🚨 **Sewage Saga in Cardiff’s Hailey Park** 🚧
The residents of Llandaff North are frustrated as the long-awaited sewage system at Hailey Park faces yet another setback. Originally intended to finish last year, the project has dragged on, causing headaches for locals concerned about their beloved park’s state.
🔙 **Timeline Woes:** What began in February 2025 now sees delays extending into early 2026. Welsh Water’s plan has seen its fair share of obstacles: local opposition, legal battles, and, more recently, significant flooding causing substantial damage to equipment.
🛑 **The Latest Update:** Residents were informed that the tunnelling machine, which hit unexpected snags, will not resume operations until late February 2026. This pushes back the timeline by another four to six weeks.
🎭 **Community Concerns:** Friends of Hailey Park and other residents express their dismay at further disruptions. “Eighteen months behind schedule, this project is impacting rugby pitches, wildlife, and everyone’s enjoyment of Hailey Park,” they voice.
🏞️ **Local Voices:** Steph Wilkens, a local and former residents’ association chair, shares her frustration, saying, “It feels like a disaster! The groundwork seems lacking, and the land’s impact was overlooked. We’re bearing the brunt without any real benefit.”
👥 **Ongoing Efforts:** Despite these setbacks, Welsh Water assures continued collaboration with the community. Updates are promised as soon as solutions are in place to get the project back on track.
The delay not only inconveniences locals but raises questions about the project’s planning. As residents await more clarity, all eyes remain on the progress (or lack thereof) at Hailey Park. 🌳
