Cycle race The Ovo Energy Women’s Tour of Britain event will be passing through part of the village on Saturday. The race enters Drefach through Heol Blaenhirwaun, turning left into Heol Tyisaf and then right along Heol Cwmmawr. The race is expected to pass through from approximately 12.30pm. For a period of 40 minutes before this the relevant roads will be closed and there must be no vehicles parked along the route until the whole ensemble have passed through. In addition, people living in Bron Yr Ynn, Hen Ffordd, Uwch Gwendraeth and Cae Coch will not be able to exit their streets. Signs warning of the disruption have been on display for a few weeks. Bunting has been put up in locations along the route so enjoy this event.
