Council plans to address long-standing issues on the A469 between Pontlottyn and Tirphil will be shared with residents next week.

A series of engagement events will be held across the Upper Rhymney Valley so residents can find out more about what is being done to address the ongoing problem.

Caerphilly County Borough Council has said the land above the road has experienced “significant movement” over recent years, resulting in the need for traffic lights to limit the amount of traffic on the road.

The council has been working with specialist consultants to address the matter.

Preliminary design options have now been developed, the local authority has said, and it now plans to share these proposals with the community “so that everyone understands the scale of works required to address this significant problem”.

Representatives from the council and its consultants will be available to discuss the proposals at drop-in sessions on the following dates:

• Rhymney Library – Wednesday July 17, 11.30am to 3pm;
• Abertysswg Community Centre – Thursday July 18, 11.45am to 1pm;
• St Tyfaelog Church Hall, Pontlottyn – Thursday July 18, 2.30pm to 5.30pm;
• New Tredegar Library – Friday July 19, 10.30am to 12.30pm;
• Deri Community Centre – Friday July 19, 2.30pm to 5.30pm.
