Paige, 27, who works for the ambulance service, said her “anxiety levels are definitely through the roof” when she leaves her dogs at home in the day.<\/p>\n
“If there is a flood warning and our dogs are in the house it terrifies us because we both travel over an hour to and from work,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Other people in the street they have kids, grandkids, so it’s a lot more difficult for them.”<\/p>\n
Council officials have recommended the council acquires numbers 1-16 on Clydach Terrace, which would include incidental costs, relocation assistance and legal fees.<\/p>\n
Numbers 6a and 6b Clydach Terrace are in an elevated position from the road and not at high risk of flooding, so have been excluded from the proposal.<\/p>\n
A wall currently separates the Nant Clydach tributary from the street, but the environment body, Natural Resources Wales, said building a raised flood defence wall was “not economically viable”.<\/p>\n
The cabinet report said that during Storm Dennis and Storm Bert much of the pavement and highway was under water and there was extensive damage to the properties.<\/p>\n
It said residents had difficulty obtaining insurance because of high costs, and that there was a significant risk to health and danger to life in the area.<\/p>\n
Paige said: “I’m hoping that they will buy us out, it’s the only option unfortunately and the best option”.<\/p>\n
“It will just take the anxiousness away from every storm, every winter – even when it rains the anxiety levels are through the roof,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paige, 27, who works for the ambulance service, said her “anxiety levels are definitely through the roof” when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-402968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
