Our teams have been out all weekend on gully and culvert clearance to help ensure residents and property are protected from the possibility of flooding due to Storm Dennis.

Water levels in Rivers Taff, Ely and Rhymney are now receding, however Michaelston Road is still closed and is expected to remain closed until the morning, when it will be reassessed.

Over the past 24 hours we have experienced the highest river flows recorded since Bay impoundment. The Taff has been at its

highest-ever recorded level further up river, from Pontypridd upwards.  

There is a significant amount of debris that has come down the rivers and into the Bay with an unknown volume upstream beyond the Harbour limits still to come down river. 

For safety reasons and until further notice, all water bus stops have been closed.

Also please be aware that there is a significant volume of rubbish around the bay edges and also in the main body of the Bay, much of it likely to be underwater so extreme caution must be exercised whilst using the Bay. 

The lower boardwalk has been inundated with rubbish this weekend and we expect more over the next few hours. A cordon is in place and there is currently no public access to that area.

The main gates to Bute Park will remain closed tomorrow morning however access to the park will be available via Sophia Gardens/Millennium Bridge through to the Fishers Bridge near RWCMD.
