Trenant Shell fuel service station to close

January 6, 2006

SHELL have confirmed that the fuel service station on Hirwaun Road, Trenant will close on 24th January 2006.

The fuel station site suffers from subsidence problems and Shell have decided that it is uneconomical to invest in a solution.

The loss of the Shell garage reduces the choice for local motorists and strengthens the monopoly of the Supermarket fuel service stations within the Cynon Valley.

ASDA and Tesco are both within a mile of Aberdare town centre. It seems very likely that the loss of the Shell garage will further increase the traffic congestion near Aberdare, in particular near Tesco.
