Project ID:

The steep banks that run down to the river Aman from Alexandra Terrace in Cwmaman have long been known as local fly-tipping area. Over several years, rubbish has been thrown over the terrace fence and slipped gradually down the 100ft slopes to the river path below. However, in September 2009, AVCA took on one of its biggest projects yet, aiming to clear the banks in just one week.
