A construction company building a new cancer centre has apologised to residents as “unusually high temperatures” mean there will be overnight works for the next two weeks.

Sacyr, which is working on the new Velindre Cancer Centre in the Whitchurch area of Cardiff, said it had to extend its working hours due to recent hot temperatures.

It was responding to resident complaints, regarding noise from overnight construction work on Monday and Tuesday.

The controversial project was given the green light by Welsh government ministers in 2021, following months of high-profile protests against it being built on an area of green space known locally as “the northern meadow”.

In a statement, the company said: “We understand that the works had a significant impact on nearby residents, and we deeply regret any inconvenience caused.”

It added extended overnight hours, from 18:00 BST until the following morning, would continue on specific dates during the next two weeks.

“This is necessary to carry out long concrete pours due to the unusually high temperatures during the day,” it said.
