The Welsh Ministers THE WELSH MINISTERS (THE NEATH TO ABERGAVENNY TRUNK ROAD (A465) (ABERGAVENNY TO HIRWAUN DUALLING AND SLIP ROADS) AND EAST OF ABERCYNON TO EAST OF DOWLAIS TRUNK ROAD (A4060) AND CARDIFF TO GLAN CONWY TRUNK ROAD (A470) (CONNECTING ROADS) (DOWLAIS TOP TO HIRWAUN)) (SUPPLEMENTARY) (NO.1) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 20-- STATEMENT OF REASONS 1. INTRODUCTION The Welsh Ministers, as the relevant highway authority, are responsible for all trunk roads in Wales. The A465 is an important part of the Welsh Government (WG) strategic road network and it serves as the major east/west route linking the industrial centres of the Midlands and South Wales as well as providing an alternative route to the M4. Following the Public Local Inquiry held in April/May 2018, the A465 Dualling Section 5&6 Dowlais Top to Hirwaun Orders (known in this document as the Published Scheme) were made by the Welsh Ministers in April 2019. Options for adding value to the Scheme have continued to be investigated. The Made Orders for the A465 Dowlais Top to Hirwaun Dualling project (referred to as the “Scheme”) comprise: a) The Made Amendment (Line) Order provides for the construction of new lengths of trunk road, slip roads, connecting roads and the de-trunking of existing lengths of trunk road. b) The Made Side Roads Order (SRO), to stop up lengths of superseded trunk road and to stop up, improve, create or alter other roads, footpaths, cycle tracks, bridleways and private accesses. c) The Made Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO), to provide for the acquisition of the land and rights required for the construction and maintenance of the Scheme. An Environmental Statement and a Statement to Inform an Appropriate Assessment of the potential likely effects of the Scheme were prepared in association with the above Orders. Following further Scheme development, a Variation Order (to the Side Roads Order) and a Supplementary Compulsory Purchase Order are needed to address the following: 1. Removal of an attenuation pond at Hirwaun Ponds. 2. Insertion of new highway from the detrunked A465(T). 3. Minor amendments to the Croesbychan Roundabout 4. Insertion of new gyratory at Swansea Road / Merthyr Road. 5. Removal of gyratory at Bryniau Road. 6. Minor amendments to the Reservoir Bridge and access. 1 The Welsh Ministers’ Supplementary (No.1) Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) now published in draft would authorise the purchase of additional land and the new rights over land to make provision for the proposed changes to the Scheme and the inclusion of other changes following discussions with land owners. A draft Variation Order to the made Side Roads Order is also being published. 1. THE MADE COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER AND THE DRAFT SUPPLEMENTARY (NO. 1) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER The full title of the made Compulsory Purchase Order published under the Highways Act 1980 and the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 is as follows: THE WELSH MINISTERS (THE NEATH TO ABERGAVENNY TRUNK ROAD (A465) (ABERGAVENNY TO HIRWAUN DUALLING AND SLIP ROADS) AND EAST OF ABERCYNON TO EAST OF DOWLAIS TRUNK ROAD (A4060) AND CARDIFF TO GLAN CONWY TRUNK ROAD (A470) (CONNECTING ROADS) (DOWLAIS TOP TO HIRWAUN)) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2019 The full title of the draft Supplementary (No. 1) Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) now published by The Welsh Ministers under the Highways Act 1980 and the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 is as follows: THE WELSH MINISTERS (THE NEATH TO ABERGAVENNY TRUNK ROAD (A465) (ABERGAVENNY TO HIRWAUN DUALLING AND SLIP ROADS) AND EAST OF ABERCYNON TO EAST OF DOWLAIS TRUNK ROAD (A4060) AND CARDIFF TO GLAN CONWY TRUNK ROAD (A470) (CONNECTING ROADS) (DOWLAIS TOP TO HIRWAUN)) (SUPPLEMENTARY) (NO. 1) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 20-- The provisions within the made Compulsory Purchase Order and this draft Supplementary (No.1) CPO taken together, if made, would authorise, the Welsh Ministers under sections 239, 240, 250 and 260 of the Highways Act 1980 and under section 2 of, and paragraph 1(1)(b), (3) and (4) of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981, and all other enabling powers, to purchase compulsorily that land and the new rights over land described in the above Orders for the Scheme. 2. BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT The Background to the Project is given in the Statement of Reasons for the made CPO, when published in draft on the 3rd August 2017. 3. EXISTING CONDITIONS A description of the existing conditions is given in the Statement of Reasons for the made CPO when published in draft on the 3rd August 2017. 4. CONSULTATIONS A summary of consultations leading up to the publication of the made Orders was outlined in the Statement of Reasons for the made CPO when published on the 3rd August 2017. Since the publication of the made Orders there has been further engagement with stakeholders and interested parties. 2 The Local Planning Authorities, land owners and relevant stakeholders were consulted during the Statutory Orders Exhibitions in August 2017, and since then during development of the proposals that relate to this draft Supplementary (No. 1) CPO through meetings and correspondence. If statutory objections are received the Welsh Ministers may decide to hold a Public Local Inquiry into the Orders now published. 5. SCHEME OBJECTIVES The objectives of the proposed Scheme were given in the Statement of Reasons for the made CPO when published in draft on the 3rd August 2017. 6.

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Rhyd-Y-Car (41)
    Rhyd-y-car (41) What is it? ! This is a row of six cottages from Rhyd-y-car in Merthyr. In 1801, Merthyr was the largest town in Wales, with a population of 7,000. What do we know about the houses? ! They were moved from Merthyr in 1982 and re-erected in the Museum between 1984 and 1987. ! This is a good example of an early terrace. There were two terraces at Rhyd-y-car; there were 16 houses in one, and 13 in the other. ! The cottages were built around 1795-1800 by Richard Crawshay, an Ironmaster in Merthyr, to provide housing for his workers. They portray the following periods, showing how they might have looked if they hadn’t been moved to St Fagans: 1805; 1855; 1895; 1925; 1955; 1985. Rhyd-y-car (41) Who lived here? 1805 ! The cottage is decorated as the home of a young family from west Wales working in the iron ore mine. The rustic oak furniture comes from west Wales – it was given to the young couple as wedding presents. ! The iron ore miners belonged to the upper working class, and could afford to buy luxury goods. 1855 ! This was the home of Margaret Rosser, a 48-year-old widow who was originally from Carmarthenshire, her son John, who was 19, a 14-year-old daughter and, another son who was 12. Mrs Rosser made a living from selling milk around the area, her son John was a miner and the younger son probably worked underground too. ! Her husband, William Rosser, had died by the time of the 1851 Census.
