Having been stuck on the roads in Aberdare myself today & unable to make planned meetings I can testify this is correct! Huge respect to @SWPCynon, all emergency service workers & RCT Council staff for their efforts today. I advise all residents to take extra care this weekend.

Emergency services currently monitoring A4059 Aberdare by-pass near Tesco due to blocked culvert on the store's land. This is likely to breach again through the night due to continued heavy rain. Please take care if travelling tonight

Sorry to all our parkrun team and athletes. We’ve had to call it off due to severe flooding in our beautiful park 😞🌧💦💧

Good to bump into three officers from @swpRCT this afternoon, out in pursuit of off road bikers between Cwmbach and Abernant. I was able to assist with directions and hope there was a positive outcome.

Found another @CwmbachPri stick person on our daily walk, spreading a little happiness in these difficult times. We particularly liked its heart logo t shirt! 🌈
