We want a say on the New Bus Station

The New Labour council elected in May 2012  have done nothing to change the plans.
The LDP states they will have a bus station adjacent to the railway station
No consultation - no alteration of the bus box -
The new bus station construction is due to start in Jan next year reports Cardiff Council newspaper Capital Times as part of the 'new central business development' recently proposed just before the election. But when is the consultation? We as *bus users demand to see the plans for the new bus station immediately. The bus box imposed on us was useless so we must be consulted on the position and design of the new bus station.  We don't know when it will be going to the planning committee.

Albany Road illiegal parking

The bus can not pull in and the 4x4 driver justs ignores the situation!

Why close footway to Cathays station (College Lane)

What is the reason for completely closing a much used footway to

Cathays station (College Lane) for theconvenience of University contractors?

There could have been a space left open as it is quite wide.

Have you been inconvenienced by this?

Blind man arrested over protest of pavement parkers

Living Streets

Blind man arrested over protest..

....To Ieuan Wyn Jones AM Deputy First Minister and Minister for the Economy and Transport this is disgraceful!! Pavement parking is a serious problem which the police are not not dealing with adequately. I am writing to you on behalf of living streets and asking that AMs to take action and stop pavement parking. The House of Commons Transport Committee has slammed the Government for not tackling pavement parking. It said, "Parking on the pavement is likely to cause a grave danger to pedestrians. In particular, it creates hazards for people with disabilities and visual impairments, older people, and those with prams or pushchairs." Please can you tell me what is being done to tackle this issue in Wales and what action the minister is going to take over this case in Wales. Will he make a statement condemning the police for arresting a blind man who was justified in protesting against dangerous pavement parking and outlining action to stop this dangerous practice of pavement parking?

Did you see this story..you can hear him tell his story on the web page. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/8225778.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/8225778.stm Daniel Duckfield on his frustrations over the parking problems and his arrest A blind man who complained to police about cars parking on a pavement was arrested when he threatened to let down the vehicles' tyres. Daniel Duckfield, from Narberth, Pembrokeshire, said he and his guide dog had to walk in the road when paths were blocked by illegally-parked cars. He has complained about being cautioned and put in a cell after his arrest. Dyfed-Powys Police said it was investigating Mr Duckfield's complaints. Mr Duckfield, who became blind in December 1999, claimed police were not doing enough to tackle motorists parking illegally on pavements near his home. He said he had repeatedly complained to officers about cars blocking his path when he went out of his house, forcing him and his guide dog to walk on a main road. Last week, after phoning officers and feeling he was getting no help, he went a step further. He said: "I said all right, if you're not going to do anything I'll do something myself, I'll let the tyres down and I'll write 'no parking' on the windscreen. "I went to the door [and] locked the door. By the time I got 50 yards down my street there was a policeman running towards me. "He told me he was going to arrest me because I had threatened to let tyres down and threatened to write on windscreens." Mr Duckfield said he was taken to a police station and held in a cell before being cautioned. He said: "I thought it was absolutely disgusting. I came back here and I sat down and I almost cried but I thought, no, the temper took over me." Mr Duckfield said the arrest meant he would no longer be asked to visit schools with his guide dog. Dyfed-Powys Police said the force had held a crackdown on illegal parking in Narberth last month. A spokesperson added: "It is unfortunate Mr Duckfield decided to take matters into his own hands on this occasion." The spokesperson added Mr Duckfield's complaints would be fully investigated.

Secret judge saga - Protestors "refused to listen to what we have told them"!

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/green_flag_award_meetings_and_co#incoming-40045 What do you think of this? I cannot understand this. Why judges for a park award should be kept secret? Cover up so there must be something to hide ? And accusing protester's of misinformation is appalling, the judges should have arranged to meet them and not excepted that as true. Judges told ...Protesters "refused to listen to what we have told them"! And the judges asking for advice...!!! One of the judges says "having a wobble about whether of not to enter the fray! I would be grateful if you could give me a bit of a steer about how delicate the situation is or not.. as i don't want to get embroiled in a political muddle. Is this a big issue for you and your team? I like a challenge but would appreciate a heads up so I can make a more informed decision about whether to come to Bute or not. Are we likely to be lobbied on the day? A girl needs to know. Any help or advice advice you can offer will be much appreciated. so the judges are Wined and dined by the parks department!
