B5381 – the excavation has been temporarily reinstated and will be permanently reinstated within the next 3 months. There are currently still discussion taking place between our Street Works Section and Scottish Power with regards to the extent of the reinstatement, as the road had a Section 58 on it following the resurfacing works. The opening of the ditch on Mrli Hill was carried out on the 31 March. The issue on Mere dydd is a long ongoing defect with Scottish Power which should be rectified in the very near future. We will review the situation you have identified with regard to the passing places between Waen Meredydd and Caer and consider appropriate action to prevent their obstruction by parked vehicles. The pothole between Pen y Bont an dPont y Ddol Bridge was repaired on the 21 st March. We are aware of the condition of the road at Bryn Arian and we intend to carry out work in the near future. The work will be undertaken by the Contractor who will be dealing with the fallen tree and damaged road issue at Caepwll and this work is currently being procured.
