Built in 1853, The Vulcan is a favourite of rock group the Manic Street Preachers as well as hundreds of other regulars.
But after first being earmarked for closure because of the new development three years ago, owners Brain’s Beer have confirmed the pub, on Adam Street, Adamsdown, will finally stop pulling pints in June next year after being handed a compulsory purchase order from ...Cardiff Council???
Despite booming business, landlady Liz Smart and husband Brian were told by contractors the pub would be pulled down to make way for a 3,000-space car park for the new shopping centre." story here
The St Davids 2 project manager is Pat Thompson - email and tell him your thoughts! pthompson@cardiff.gov.uk This is the same man who wants to build a new bridge and road into listed Bute Park! Still he works for Cardiff council so let them know what you think! Try the council leader! rberman@cardiff.gov.uk
Ask him why they are making a compulsory purchase order!
The credit crunch has taken its effect on St David 2 so what is happening here- is it still necessary to demolish it?
