'It is just not the right place' Residents hit out at plans for sewage pumping station in Cardiff park

Residents have hit out again over plans to build a sewage pumping station at a well-used area of parkland in Cardiff. Residents and users of Hailey Park in Llandaff North came out to express their concerns over Welsh Water's proposal to build a sewage pumping station in the area as councillors carried out a site visit on Monday, June 27.

One of the chief concerns of residents and park users is the potential sensory impact the sewage pumping station could have on Hailey Park. There are also concerns about the potential impact on biodiversity, the value of housing in the area and loss of green space.

Resident Pam French of the YGC Rebel Mams group said: "We are all worried about the smell and the noise that could potentially come from it. Hailey Park flooded really badly at the beginning of 2020. This area that they are planning to build on is heavily waterlogged at all times."
