    November 2020 Lorry re-route is good news for community Welsh Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt, and Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns, have welcomed our recent move to re-route some of our Tarmac lorries on their journey to and from Ewenny and Bridgend. on The upgrade of a section of the B4270 means that Tarmac lorries (like the one seen here) and contractor hauliers can now use this new route to reach the A48, avoiding the B4265 which runs through Wick and St Brides Major. Aberthaw in your local community Andy Watkins (left) and Hesh Ibsule (right) Plant Manager Stuart Escott says: “We are always (Picture taken prior to Covid-19 restrictions) looking for ways to reduce our impact on the surrounding communities. The road upgrade has First aider to the rescue! offered us a great opportunity to divert our lorries away from these villages, and it also provides a Hesh Ibsule, Maintenance Technician here at Aberthaw safer and more efficient route for our drivers.” Works is a true superhero! Late last year, Hesh saved the life of one of his site colleagues, Packing Plant Supervisor Andy Watkins, by performing the ‘Heimlich manoeuvre’ when he began choking. The incident could so easily have had a very different outcome had Hesh not been first aid trained. Commenting about the incident Hesh says: “I’ve never in 10 years of being a first aider had to use my training, but when Andy started to choke during lunch, I responded, remembering immediately the steps to take when a person is choking: back slaps followed by abdominal Working safely through thrusts.

Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.

  • Barry to Llantwit Major (Wales Coast Path) Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Barry to Llantwit Major (Wales Coast Path) walk Glamorgan Heritage Coast : Cold Knap point, Porthkerry viaduct, Fontygary, Rhoose and Summerhouse points, Llantwit Major beach Length 13.5 miles (21.7km) with 1,000 ft (300m) of ascent. Can be split into 2 shorter walks. Toughness 6 / 10 Walk The section of the Wales Coast Path (WCP) starts in Barry (of Barry Island and Notes Gavin & Stacey fame), then heads west past Cold Knap Point, Porthkerry Park (with its spectacular railway viaduct), Rhoose Point (the most southerly point in Wales), Aberthaw, Summerhouse Point and Llantwit Major's beach. The walk has a mixture: headlands, sandy beaches, parkland, quiet cliff paths, dramatic cliffs, and 'stone shelf' beaches. And, its great for swimming. This is the first section of dramatic coast and sandy beaches if starting in Chepstow (or the last, if coming from the north). Travel is easy - there is a direct train service between Barry, Rhoose and Barry, crossing the Porthkerry viaduct. The walk starts at Barry Station, and heads for the old Barry Harbour, there used to be sand in front of the breakwater, but now the tidal(!) bay has silted up and looks picturesque, but uninviting. Then its out to Cold Knap Point (with 270° views), then along the Knap promenade (a pebble beach, with viaduct views!). Then its over low cliffs (nicer than shingle walking at the base), and down the "golden staircase" (local legend is that a golden coin is buried underneath them) to Porthkerry Park, with its railway viaduct The next section is a low cliff top path past former quarries to Rhoose Point, Wales most southerly point.

  • Why Aberthaw?
    Why Aberthaw? The Aberthaw-Minehead tidal barrage location has five inherent benefits. This makes the location ideal for a 4,000 megawatt ‘green’ tidal power generating capability. (1) Electrical-power Generation The magnitude of the potential electrical-power generation capability is proportional to the product of the tidal height and the mass of water passing through a water-turbine. The Bristol Channel / Severn Estuary has the second highest tidal range in the world. At Lavernock Point the tidal range reaches about 14.5 metres in the Spring. At Aberthaw the tidal range reaches about 11.0 metres in the Spring. The magnitude and cyclic timing of the world’s tides are principally determined by the orbital path of the moon and the rotation of the earth. The gravitational forces produced during its transit cause any mass of water that is free to rise to do so and to attempt to move in the direction of the moon’s orbit. A narrowing west-to-east orientation of the channel into which it flows, such as the Severn Estuary, magnifies the resulting increase in level. The time taken for each tidal cycle varies. It is typically about 12 hours 20 minutes. Land-based hydro-generation often either replaces or works alongside waterfalls. The height through which the water falls dominates. In a choice of location, it is usually visually obvious where the maximum power generation potential exists. In tidal generation the tidal height changes simultaneously with the magnitude of the accompanying flow. The maximum power generation potential for a particular location is not immediately obvious.

  • Aberthaw Power Station the Leys Aberthaw Near Barry Vale of Glamorgan CF62 4ZW
    Notice of variation and consolidation with introductory note Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 RWE Generation UK plc Aberthaw Power Station The Leys Aberthaw Near Barry Vale of Glamorgan CF62 4ZW Variation application number EPR/RP3133LD/V013 Permit number EPR/RP3133LD NRW Led variation and Page 1 30/03/17 consolidation application number EPR/RP3133LD/V013 Aberthaw Power Station Permit number EPR/RP3133LD Introductory note This introductory note does not form a part of the notice. This variation amends the permit to deliver compliance with the Chapter III provisions of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) following the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) judgement in relation to Aberthaw Power Station made on the 21st September 2016. More specifically, these are the requirements under Schedule 15, paragraph 3(d) of EPR 2016, and its reference to Article 32(2) of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). The oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO2 expressed as NO2) emission limit values (ELV) have been significantly reduced in order to meet these requirements. The calendar monthly mean ELV has been reduced by approximately 52% from 1050 mg/m3 to 500 mg/m3 and the 95% of Validated Daily Means within a Calendar Year ELV has been reduced by approximately 44% from 1080 mg/m3 to 605 mg/m3. This daily annual 95 percentile ELV provides equivalence to the Large Combustion Plant Directive 48-hourly annual 95 percentile ELV that is required under the Transitional National Plan provisions of IED. We consider that overall releases of oxides of nitrogen from the installation will be reduced as a result of this variation.

  • And Aerospace Business Park (ABP) - St Athan Non-Technical Summary
    1 Defence Technical College (DTC) and Aerospace Business Park (ABP) - St Athan Non-Technical Summary Purpose of this Non-Technical Summary This Non-Technical Summary forms part of the Environmental Statement (ES) that is associated with two outline planning applications which are being made to facilitate the major redevelopment of MoD St Athan in South Wales. The proposals include the development of a Defence Technical College (DTC) and Aerospace Business Park (ABP) which are being promoted by Metrix (the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) preferred bidder for the provision of the DTC) and the Welsh Assembly Government for the ABP. Entec UK Ltd is acting as lead consultant responsible for the production of the documentation associated with the ES. This Non-Technical Summary describes: • The proposed development; • The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process; • The existing environment in and around the site of the proposed DTC and ABP; • The environmental and mitigation measures incorporated within the proposals; and • The likely significant effects of the development. Site Location The St Athan development site is located in south-east Wales, within the administrative district of the Vale of Glamorgan, approximately 8 miles west of Barry and 12 miles south-east of Bridgend. The site benefits from good transport links, being situated approximately 4 miles west of Cardiff Airport and approximately 14 miles south of Junction 33 of the M4. The administrative centre for the Vale of Glamorgan is Barry, with other medium-sized settlements including the towns of Llantwit Major, Penarth and Cowbridge situated within the administrative boundary. Smaller villages are located in the immediate area surrounding the site including the villages of Llanmaes, Flemingston, Gileston, Boverton and the hamlet of Picketston.
