Work at new BMX track is nearing completion

A PLANNED BMX pump track on land where material from a landslide has been placed is nearing completion and is set to open soon.

Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) Council has given the latest update on the work happening at the Tylorstown tip to make it safe since a landslide five years ago, including an update on the planned BMX pump track on a receptor site in Ferndale which has been used for material from the landslip on the Llanwonno hillside in February 2020 triggered by the unprecedented rainfall during Storm Dennis.

It blocked the river valley, broke a foul sewer, covered a water main with several metres of debris, and covered a shared footpath. A four-phase remediation plan has been put in place and included emergency clearance work in the weeks that followed.
