DWR Cymru Welsh Water says that planned investment work to help alleviate potential incidents of flooding in the Barry area is still on track to hit its completion target date - despite a delay in starting work.

The works, which require the temporary closure of the tunnel linking Weston Square and Cardiff Road, were due to start this week - but have now been put back by two months.

Work includes the laying of a large new sewer, and before the sewer can be constructed, major service diversions of gas, electricity and telecom need to be undertaken.
