Pa drafodaethau y mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi'u cael gyda Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful ynghylch pryderon gan drigolion y bydd hen safle gwaith glo brig Ffos-y-Fran yn parhau i lenwi â dŵr, yn halogi cyflenwadau dŵr lleol, yn denu pobl ifanc ac yn peri risg o foddi?
My officials and I, maintain regular contact with Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and a wider range of partners about ongoing developments at Ffos-y-Fran. We have been clear the safeguarding and restoration of the site remains our primary objective, and that we expect to see full restoration of the site in line with planning permission.
The leader of the Council has provided assurances that the water level in the void is not an immediate concern. Welsh Government is providing support to the Council to ensure that they are able to access independent assessments on potential flooding concerns and environmental impacts.
In terms of site access and safety, Welsh Government has raised this matter directly with both the Council and the Health and Safety Executive, and we continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety of the local community is upheld.
