Road works – Work on Port Road between Brooklands Terrace and Culverhouse Cross will result in a temporary restriction to traffic wishing to turn right from and to Brooklands Terrace and St Lythans Road/Old Port Road by St Lythans Park. Diverted traffic will have to use Culverhouse Cross and Quarry Road roundabouts during this period. The work in this area is not expected to be 100% complete until early February 2017.

The Council awaits the results of the recent traffic survey of vehicles using Old Port Road.

 

 

The Vale has decided to remove one of the four pine trees in Grange Avenue and reduce the height and spreading limbs of the other three trees.

Work in Nant Isaf and at the south end of Old Port Road from Port Road to Rectory Close are for extensions to the cycle paths into the village.

The Council agreed to install a defibulator at the Community Centre on the external wall making it readily available for use in an emergency. Additional locations for additional machines within the community will be investigated.

Another water leak on the supply pipework to the allotments under the playing field has been repaired and one of the water troughs replaced.

The Community Centre main hall and leisure room were repainted over he summer period. It has been agreed to sand and repaint the main hall floor. It is intended to time repairs to cause minimum disruption to hall users.

A small cash grant from the Vale will enable the Council to replace the Brooklands Terrace notice board and continue some rebuilding work of the allotment wall.
