The flood alleviation scheme, which runs along the River Ebbw through Risca, was jointly funded by the Welsh Government and Caerphilly County Borough Council and will reduce the flood risk to 278 properties. 

The visit by the Cabinet Secretary comes as the Welsh Government announced an additional £33million capital funding for flooding schemes across Wales.

The funding will support the Welsh Government’s work with Natural Resources Wales and Local Authorities on priority flood risk management schemes over the next four years.  This is in addition to the £150m innovative coastal risk management scheme which will commence in 2018\.

The Cabinet Secretary said:


> “I’m pleased to have the opportunity to visit Risca and see this important scheme completed. Earlier this year we promised the people of Wales that, in addition to the £240 million for flood and coastal erosion risk management over the life of the last Government, we would make further investment into flood defences across Wales to protect homes, businesses and motorists. I am delighted we have been able to deliver on this promise.”

There is a history of flooding in Risca. The majority of the defences were built in the 1980s and analysis of these identified areas of weakness. As part of the works new flood defence embankments have been constructed and existing defences have been raised and stabilised. 

The scheme has also provided additional benefits to the area, including tree planting and improved recreation facilities and access. 

The scheme was delivered by Natural Resources Wales.

 Cafodd y cynllun atal llifogydd, sy’n rhedeg ar hyd yr Afon Ebwy drwy Rhisga, ei gyllido gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Caerffili a bydd yn lleihau perygl llifogydd i 278 eiddo.  

Mae ymweliad Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cyd\-daro â chyhoeddiad Llywodraeth Cymru y bydd £33 miliwn o gyllid cyfalaf ychwanegol yn cael ei neilltuo ar gyfer cynlluniau atal llifogydd ar draws Cymru. 

Bydd y cyllid yn hwb i waith Llywodraeth Cymru â Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ac Awdurdodau Lleol ar gynlluniau rheoli perygl llifogydd  ag iddynt flaenoriaeth dros y pedair blynedd nesaf. Mae hyn yn ychwanegol at y cynllun blaengar i reoli perygl arfordirol gwerth £150m a fydd yn cychwyn yn 2018\.  

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet:


> “Pleser yw ymweld â Rhisga a gweld y cynllun pwysig hwn wedi’i gwblhau. Yn gynharach eleni gwnaethom addo y byddem yn buddsoddi rhagor o arian mewn amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd ar draws Cymru er mwyn amddiffyn cartrefi, busnesau a modurwyr, a hynny’n ychwanegol at y £240 miliwn ar gyfer gwaith rheoli perygl llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol gydol oes y Llywodraeth ddiwethaf. Rwy’n falch iawn ein bod wedi gallu cadw at yr addewid hwn.”

Mae llifogydd wedi bod yn broblem yn Rhisga ers blynyddoedd lawer. Cafodd y rhan fwyaf o’r amddiffynfeydd eu hadeiladu yn yr 1980au a gwelwyd gwendidau ynddynt wrth iddynt gael eu hasesu. Mae argloddiau newydd ar gyfer amddiffyn rhag llifogydd wedi’u hadeiladu ac mae’r amddiffynfeydd presennol wedi’u codi a’u sefydlogi.  

Mae’r cynllun wedi cyflawni manteision ychwanegol ar gyfer yr ardal, gan gynnwys gwaith plannu coed a gwell cyfleusterau hamdden a mynediad.  

Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru fu’n gyfrifol am gyflenwi’r cynllun.
