Gummer, Claire,

Dear Mr South

We refer to your Freedom of Information Request in respect of A4233 -
Aberdare/Maerdy Mountain Road Works, the Authority's response is as
follows:

1. Please set out in detail the works that have been undertaken on the
A4233 since the 12th of April 2016?

No site works have been carried out since 12th April 2016. The traffic
lights are in place to reduce the traffic loading on a landslip. Ground
investigations were carried out in March and analysis of the landslip and
consideration of remediation options have been under consideration.

2. What is the planned date the works will be completed?

It is anticipated that remediation works will be carried out during
2017/18 Financial Year

3. What funding has been received and on what date was this received by
the Council?

Grant funding of £40k has been received from Welsh Government during
2015/16 in relation to the Ground Investigation works. It was received in
April 2016.

4. Why has there been significant delay in completing the works?

The remediation of landslips are often extremely complex and difficult
works which take a significant period to design and procure. Ground
investigation works were undertaken during April 2016 and following
receipt of the report and recommendations, a report outlining remediation
options was submitted to the Council's Cabinet in September. You can view
the report on the Council's website via the following link:

Work will now begin on procurement of a remediation detailed design and
construction contractor.

We trust this answers your queries.

Yours sincerely

Claire
