October 29, 2025

ALKS will be held with residents over the potential purchase of their homes which are at risk of river flooding.

- ANTHONY LEWIS

A delegated officer decision means discussions will begin with residents of 1-16 Clydach Terrace, Ynysybwl, on agreeing a financial figure for the proposed acquisition of the properties.

Rhondda Cynon Taf council’s appointed valuer will start negotiations with owners and occupants of the properties to discuss an appropriate value and level of compensation for their homes.

A further report will be taken to cabinet following the outcome of the negotiations to seek approval to proceed with the next steps.
