Infrastructure

The borough council of Rhondda Cynon Taf began a flood alleviation scheme around the Glenboi highway designed to accommodate overflows from surface water and divert streams from entering the Glenboi road and the downstream culvert, an area at high risk of flooding.[3] The Glenboi area was identified as being the 18th highest risk ward in the Rhondda Cynon Taf's flood risk management plan.
