Aberdare wall closure raises questions over council’s year-long delay to act

The Council is providing an update on the pictured footway closure in #Aberdare, near the entrance to Gadlys Pit Car Park, due to an unsafe wall.

The path was originally closed on May 22 between the car park and East Avenue, and upon further inspection of the structure, the adjacent path to Gadlys Terrace will now also need to be closed from Thursday, June 4.

The temporary fencing that was previously installed is being adjusted, while an addition section is being installed on Thursday along the newly-closed section.

While the fencing will need to be extended into the road, please note that access to Gadlys Pit Car Park will remain open as usual with a narrowed carriageway.

Please also note, it’s important that the fencing is not moved by residents, as the closure is essential due to the safety of the wall. Removing the fencing could put you and others in danger.

The alternative routes for pedestrians are via Dare Villas, Dover Terrace and Gadlys Road (for East Avenue), and Dare Villas and Dover Terrace (for Gadlys Terrace).

Hello, the Council is working with the adjacent landowner over a resolution to the issue – a further update will be issued to residents at the appropriate time.
