A number of residents have asked why the traffic lights are in place along Heol Blaenhirwaun, between Cefneithin and Drefach.
We have been informed that Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) have deployed these lights as a temporary safety measure. There is dangerous damaged DCWW apparatus at that location and the lights are required to prevent traffic driving over the apparatus and risking an accident.
The apparatus is a frame and cover in the surface of the carriageway, and is non-standard and cannot be repaired, so a new one must be fabricated to order, a process that is taking several weeks.
The current DCWW plan is to complete the replacement works and remove the lights by 20th October 2026. Hopefully, that date can be met.

Mae nifer o drigolion wedi gofyn pam mae goleuadau traffig wedi'u gosod ar hyd Heol Blaenhirwaun, rhwng Cefneithin a Drefach.
Dŵr Cymru (DCWW) sydd wedi gosod y goleuadau hyn fel mesur diogelwch dros dro. Mae offer sy'n perthyn i Dŵr Cymru wedi'i ddifrodi ac yn beryglus yn y lleoliad hwnnw, ac mae angen y goleuadau i atal traffig rhag gyrru dros yr offer a chreu damwain.
Mae'r offer yn cynnwys ffrâm a chaead sydd wedi'u gosod yn wyneb y ffordd; gan nad yw'r rhain o safon gyffredin ac na ellir eu hatgyweirio, rhaid gwneud un newydd yn arbennig, proses sy'n cymryd sawl wythnos.
Cynllun presennol Dŵr Cymru yw cwblhau'r gwaith ailosod a chael gwared ar y goleuadau erbyn 20 Hydref 2026. Gobeithio y gellir cadw at y dyddiad hwnnw.
