THE VALE Council had to fell a tree in relationn to the landslide which occurred in Penarth.
Residents were rocked by a landslide near Penarth Esplanade yesterday, March 23.
The council have released a statement describing the landslide as small, but admitted a tree did have to be taken down.
A Vale of Glamorgan Council spokesperson said: “The Council was made aware that a small landslide had left debris on the road along Penarth Esplanade on Thursday morning.
“The road was closed briefly whilst this material was removed and reopened in between loads. During this time, a tree in Windsor Park was also felled as it was at risk of falling down the embankment.
“The work only took a few hours and once completed the road was fully reopened.”
