Concerns had been raised by the Penallta RFC over the loss of its main sports pitch, which is owned by the council. Alternatives that have been put forward by the council have not been considered sufficient by the rugby club. Local ward member Cllr Martyn James said in the cabinet meeting that he was disappointed, especially regarding the sewage issue at Sue Noakes leisure centre, which is the proposed alternative site.

There are contamination fears after sports fields in an overdeveloped town were flooded with sewage four times in as many months.
Penallta RFC are opposing Caerphilly council s plans to uproot the club and move it across Ystrad Mynach to make room for a major school redevelopment.
The club said it was massively concerned after a sewer at proposed replacement fields overflowed.
The council said appropriate works would be carried out at the site.
Caerphilly council has been consulting on plans to expand Trinity Fields School in Ystrad Mynach, which would see 450-member Penallta RFC lose its main pitch and the town lose yet another sports field.
