The Vale of Glamorgan Council has secured almost £150,000 in funding for over 20 properties in Sully to undergo flood protection work.Most of the homes were affected by the flooding that hit parts of South Wales just before Christmas, while several others have been identified as being at risk of suffering similar damage in the future.

Four of the properties are on Conybeare Road, with the remainder located on Winsford Rd, Highbridge Close, Swanbridge Grove and Swanbridge Road.

Specialist contractors will undertake surveys of the properties affected over the summer and the resultant flood protection works will be completed later in the financial year.

Flood doors are to be installed along with a range of other physical measures to prevent flood water entry based on the outcomes of the surveys.

Detailed investigations in relation to the causes of the flooding and any possible measures that could be introduced to reduce future flood risk in the overall area are ongoing.

In the shorter term, this work will provide an additional level of protection against the risk of future internal property flooding and hopefully greater assurance to those at risk of flooding.
