Rain sees roundabout shut again

Cwmbrla roundabout in Swansea flooded again yesterday.

(SWANSEA COUNCIL)

Cwmbwrla roundabout has been shut a number of times since September, when traffic had to be diverted for a number of days due to the flooding.

Yesterday morning, amid a rare amber weather warning for rain, Swansea Council confirmed that the roundabout was closed once again due to rising water levels.

The council said the decision had been made as a “precaution”

At the start of November, cars became stuck on the roundabout with officers from South Wales Police called to the scene.

On that occasion, the council said a blocked culvert near to the roundabout caused the flooding.
