Yeah, linked to the sinkhole that closed the Cwmfelin club, Welsh Water have been working on the collapsed culvert for 2 years...

All this rain is good for the garden, though, and blackberry picking will go into hyperdrive next week for the oldies. #alwayslookonthebrightsideoflife

No doubt, damm I wish I’d saved an article a few years back, it was pretty interesting, about the Cwmfelin Club and the collapsed culvert.

I didn’t pay a great deal of attention, because there were some people saying that the issue with the Cwmfelin was the previous works there. It’s a few years back I read this, so may be wrong, but something about copper mining on the Cwmfelin site?

Just read a post by Peter Black the local councillor for the Cwmbrwla area, and he’s saying the flooding issue, is down to the collapsed culvert on heol y gors.

Yeah my brothers office is above where the flooding is and he told me earlier that the road has been closed for a good while down behind Sytners

I’m sure there’s some kind of dispute about who’s responsible for paying for the work between the club and WW. Today’s incident should help to focus minds.

Yes. There’s been traffic lights there for ages.

No doubt the poop will hit the fan now. I think there’s another possible complex in this matter, sure some of the land where the problem with the collapsed culvert is owned by the Rail Network

Hmm, Reading a bit more into some come comments on this flooding in Cwmbwrla, and one person suggested is was due to multiple collapse of culverts, all to do with Burlais Brook, which I've never heard of.
