🌌🌳 Night-time construction chaos in Cardiff! Residents of Llandaff North are up in arms as 24/7 work kicks off at Hailey Park from March. This unpopular sewage construction has been a hot topic with locals, stirring up concerns over noise, bright lights, and the impact on local wildlife. 💡🔊
The need for this system arose with the upcoming Plasdwr development, expected to bring 7,000 new homes, putting pressure on local wastewater systems. Cardiff Council greenlit the plans back in 2022, despite a wave of protests and a failed legal challenge crowdfunded by passionate locals. 💪🏡
Delays have plagued the project, and now with overnight work looming, residents fear the disruption could stretch beyond the promised five weeks. Llandaff North Residents’ Association chair, Steph Wilkins, warns of the “massive disruption” to the peaceful community, highlighting issues from noise when windows are open to doubts over Welsh Water’s ability to minimise disturbance. 📢🏞️
Ian Vincent from Whitchurch labels the 24/7 work “scandalous”, fearing prolonged chaos and damage to this beloved green space. He voices the community’s exasperation with the prolonged presence, citing road damage and a lack of confidence that things will wrap up smoothly. 🚧😭
In defence, Welsh Water has pledged to mitigate disruption, promising acoustic barriers and constant noise monitoring. Will it be enough? 🤔 Let us know your thoughts below! 👇 #CardiffNews #CommunityConcerns #HaileyParkUpdates
