A sports pitch at a popular park could be made temporarily unusable by the building of a controversial sewage pumping station. Cardiff Council has confirmed that a site at Hailey Park, which includes part of one of the rugby pitches near the Ty Mawr Road entrance, is being considered for a works compound.
The proposal has not yet been approved and a number of other potential sites are also being looked at. The compound would be used during the construction of a sewage pumping station at the park. A Cardiff Council spokesperson said: “The site currently proposed by Welsh Water for a temporary works compound would impinge on the touchline of one of the Hailey Park sport pitches.
"This proposal has not yet been agreed and alternative options are being put forward for discussion. Once built, the pumping station will have no impact on sports pitch provision.” The plan for a new sewage pumping station, which was met with staunch opposition from a number of Llandaff North residents and park users, was approved on September 8.
