About the scheme

What will the scheme do?

  • Reduce the risk of flooding to the village
  • Increase the capacity of the system by over 70%.

This will be achieved by:

  • Increasing the size of existing culverts
  • Widening river channels
  • Removing obstacles in channels

The work involves:

  • increasing the size of the culvert crossing the A544 at the north end of the village
  • improving the river channel in Dalar Bach
  • building new floodwalls  in Dalar Bach at the carpark through to Llain Hiraethog inlet
  • improving the channel in front of Llain Hiraethog
  • replacing the culvert from the Llain Hiraethog channel down Ffordd Gogor and connecting back into the Afon Bach at Uwch yr Aled

The work will also include:

  • Diverting BT cables, the Welsh Water foul sewer and water mains
  • Creating a seating  area at Llain Hiraethog

Environmental benefits:

  • Removing weir structures at three locations to help fish migration
  • Installing baffles along the channel bed to give resting points for migrating fish
  • Installing vegetated retaining wall to improve biodiversity
