Abercynon Park & Ride ABERCYNON PARK & RIDE Client Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council Location Abercynon Value £3m The project comprised the construction of a park and ride facility in a very restricted location directly adjacent to Abercynon Railway Station and alongside an operational railway line and the River Taff. The park and ride facility was to be created on reclaimed derelict land to provide regeneration comprising: • parking for up to 160 cars, including 11 disabled parking spaces • CCTV coverage • improved lighting and signing • a new two span bridge across River Taff with footways linking Navigation Park with access to the Abercynon Railway Station to create a first class integrated transport facility: Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd proposed a significant reduction to the Contract Period by utilising smaller plant to access the existing bridge and by double handling materials from a marshalling area in Navigation Park. This allowed the construction of the car park and subway concurrently with the bridge works. The project was delivered well ahead of programme: • Contract commenced 22nd February 2010 • Original Contract period 72 weeks (Completion 11th July 2011) • Contractor planned completion 52 weeks (22nd February 2011) • Contractor handover 14 December 2010 – 42 weeks This was 10 weeks ahead of the Contractor’s revised scheduled date and 30 weeks ahead of the contractual date. The overall cost of the scheme was projected as £4m, but due to a combination of positive partnership working, excellent community relations and value engineering a saving of £1m was made.

  • CANDIDATE SITE REGISTER Index of Sites
    Foreword The Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan (LDP) provides for a new way of planning for the future of the County Borough. This follows major changes to the planning system which were introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. It sees the replacement of the old system of structure and local plans which, until the LDP is adopted, forms the Development Plan for the County Borough. As the Plan will identify land for new development during the CANDIDATE SITE period 2006 – 2021, it will be important that sites allocated for housing, employment, and other uses are capable of coming forward within this timescale and that they can contribute fully REGISTER to sustainability objectives whilst meeting overall growth requirements. Previous undeveloped local plan allocations, along with sites Index of Sites put forward by development interests (Candidate Sites) need to be considered carefully. A Methodology for consistently and objectively assessing these sites was subject to consultation in the summer of 2006. This Candidate Site Register brings together the approved methodology together with a full list of strategic and non- strategic sites to be considered, with maps showing their location and extent. Through the publication and availability of this information further transparency will be added to the process. Gaps in the number sequence for the Candidate Sites result from the omission of small sites of 0.3 hectare or less. These will be considered as part of the review of settlement boundaries.

Many of those tracing their ancestors in Glamorgan will therefore sooner or later come across family members who were coal miners or colliery surface workers.
