The latest Aberaman PACT (Partners and Communities Together) meeting was well attended, with several local concerns raised.
Parking on Fforchaman Road
Inconsiderate parking by some residents on the main road through Cwmaman, especially Fforchaman Road, was a major topic. Tina Williams told the PCSOs she has received many complaints about parked vehicles stopping large vehicles from getting through, particularly at peak times. The PCSOs said they will be knocking on doors to speak to residents directly. This is an ongoing problem that has been raised at several previous PACT meetings.
Concerns over Rhos Dyfed estate
Councillor Evans was concerned that the PCSOs had not kept local councillors informed about events at the Rhos Dyfed housing estate. The estate is owned by Newydd Housing Association, part of the Cadarn Housing Group. The PCSO for the area said he was aware of the problems and had called at the estate several times.
AberdareOnline has written to a number of organisations and to South Wales Police for an update. Residents deserve an explanation of exactly what has gone on, and of what the interested parties are doing for the people who live on the estate.
Speeding in Abercwmboi
A resident from Abercwmboi came specifically to ask the councillors and PCSOs what can be done about speeding vehicles through the village and along the rear lane behind John Street. The resident also complained about speeding cars, e-bikes and scooters.
The PCSOs said they had held a speed awareness exercise by Abercwmboi Rugby Club, but not in the village itself. They explained that placing a mobile camera is difficult because there is no free space on the main road through Abercwmboi.
Perhaps electronic speed signs on both sides of the village would help.
Good news from Maes-Y-Deri
Oakland Community Project organiser Mike Roach said the Maes-Y-Deri estate was looking good. The estate is owned by Trivallis, which holds a monthly meeting with its Aberaman residents.
