She had, in consultation with the Chairman, arranged for the tree to be taken down and removed at a cost of £500. The actions of Cllr. Lewis were approved. She added that it would be advisable to arrange for the area to be sprayed in due course and eventually consider planting new trees. ii) Minute No. 320.12.03 – The Clerk advised that he was still waiting to hear whether the application to Welsh Hearts for a free defibrillator had been accepted. He agreed to provide Cllr. Edwards with the details of the application. iii) Minute No. 320.12.06 – The Chairman referred to the alarm system at the Village Hall and advised that confirmation had been received that the system is now working satisfactorily. Members still expressed concern that the Village Hall Association did not appear to have taken up the issue of the deficiencies in the system with Waverley, the original installer. The Clerk confirmed that no response had been received to that question. 1 18.01.04 – Co-options to fill vacancies The Chairman expressed the hope that Abbie Gaughan, attending this meeting, would give serious consideration to joining the Council. Cllr. Edwards advised that a resident of Parc Rhydlafar, Byron Jenkins, had expressed an interest and might attend the next meeting. The Chairman referred to a review by the Welsh Government of what councils are doing to fill vacant seats and confirmed that a response had been sent by the Clerk. 18.01.05 – Police Matters & Neighbourhood Watch PCSO Shaw reported on the on-going off-road bike problem. Three more bikes have been seized and overall the number of reported incidents has been down significantly. General crime is also down with only two reported crimes north of the railway, plus one incidence of anti-social behaviour and one case of fly-tipping. To the south of the railway there were 16 calls, of which just 6 were classed as crimes. Cllr. Edwards reported that there had been a number of cars broken into on Parc Rhydlafar. She added that since the closure of the shop, the area around it is becoming a problem with anti-social behaviour including it being used as a dumping ground. She advised that a nursery may open there. PCSO Shaw reported that there have been some parking issues on Crofft-Y-Genau Road, particularly with builders at Clive House causing problems. The Chairman referred to Members’ willingness to distribute leaflets on behalf of the police. Some that had been mentioned prior to Christmas had not been received. Cllr. Lewis added that she would be happy to deliver more Red Mana leaflets. PCSO Shaw said he would provide a supply. Cllr. Williams raised the subject of speed checks and Cllr. Lewis questioned whether the camera van could be used. PCSO Shaw confirmed that speed checks would continue and would make enquiries about using the van. The Chairman thanked PCSO Shaw for his attendance, at which point he left the meeting. 18.01.06 – Community projects Reports on the progress of the various projects were as follows: a) Parc Rhydlafar. The Chairman reported that some Members had met Mark Cummings from Cardiff Council and walked around the area. The roundabout will now be cleared, a plastic membrane put down, on top of which will be slates and then the planting of suitable shrubs. Clearing of the footpaths has taken place. A new waste bin to be sited near the picnic tables is awaited. Cllr. Edwards questioned whether a footpath leading to the picnic tables could be provided. She also expressed the need for dog fouling signs around the park area. Clerk to request. Information plaque – A Welsh translation of the proposed wording was passed to the Clerk. Members suggested that a photo of the former hospital should be incorporated into the plaque and the Clerk agreed to look into that. b) the Village: 2 Repainting the white lines has been completed and installation of the speed awareness signs is awaited. County Cllr. Thomas agreed to speak to Matt Wakelam about the speed awareness signs and also the proposed ‘Welcome’ signs. Cllr. Williams confirmed that the potholes opposite Quarry Cottages have been done but there is now a drainage issue – the two drains at Rose Cottage are ineffective. Furthermore, the road is now encroaching onto the lay-by – a white line is needed to mark the road edge. Two other potholes were reported – at Castle Hill, and on Crofft-Y-Genau Road at the road narrowing by the cricket club. Cllr. Williams reported that four trees had been cut down on Crofft-Y-Genau Road and one resident had complained. Work had also been carried out on the shrubs by the old garages and that area is looking better. New ‘Welcome’ signs at the entrances to the Village – No progress reported. Cllr. Lewis reported that about 6 street signs around the Village need to be replaced. She also commented on the condition of the white posts around the green, and a broken litter bin on Crofft-Y-Genau Road needs to be replaced. c) Westfield Park: Welcome sign – Cllr. Pallier declared a personal interest in one of the quotes submitted. He explained his proposal and commented on the difficulty in actually getting quotes, but took no part in the decision of whether or not to proceed. A discussion took place regarding the design and proposed location, following which Cllr. Price proposed that, as an exception to standing orders, the two quotes be accepted. Cllr. Lewis seconded the proposal and it was agreed unanimously. County Cllr. Thomas questioned whether planning permission was required, and the Clerk agreed to enquire accordingly. Dog fouling – penalty signs have been put up around the entrance area, but are considered too small. The Clerk agreed to ask for larger signs and to follow-up the request for dog waste bins. Planters – the name plates have been ordered. Fly-tipping – Cllr. Edwards reported that the land between the end of Yarrow Close and Snowden Road is becoming a dumping ground. Cllr. Pallier advised that he had reported it previously and arranged for Cardiff Council to clear it. The Clerk agreed to report it again. Kissing gates at the entrances to the recreation area. Waiting for a response from Cardiff Council. The Chairman referred to S106 monies from the development at Great House Farm, which specifically referred to improvements / maintenance at Westfield Park. d) Other: Defibrillator – (see Minute No. 18.01.03 ii) above).

Cllr. Lewis agreed to prepare a draft. 3 Cllr. Williams referred to a recent report on Pentrebane Farm. It is a listed building and Cllr. Williams thought it was a good report. He added that Pentrebane Road is becoming a nightmare in terms of traffic following the commencement of work on the new housing site. c) Other Planning Applications The Clerk gave details of the following planning applications: New: 17/02896/MJR – Land south of Pentrebane Road: Non-material amendments to 17/00414/MJR re garage types, roof types, etc. 17/02920/MJR – Land south of Pentrebane Road: Discharge of various Conditions in relation to 17/00414/MJR. 17/02844/MJR – Goitre Fach Farm: Reserved matters re 16/00106/MJR for 18 residential units, including the re-plan of 15 units and 3 additional units. 17/02949/DCH – 31, Nant Y Drope: Single-storey extension to replace existing conservatory. 17/03092/MNR – Land to the north of M4 J33: D of C 18 (Junction 33 built form and townscape document) of 14/00852/DCO.

  • In St Fagans?
    ST FAGANS COMMUNITY NEWS SPRING 2018 WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ST FAGANS? Produced by the St Fagans Village Hall Association This magazine CARDIFF & VALE Specialists is supported by HOSPITALS in you. WELCOME HELLO and a warm welcome to the spring 2018 edition of St Fagans Community News. As I write this (at the end of January) it doesn’t seem as though spring is almost upon us. Yes bulbs are growing, trees are shooting and the birds are singing but it is cold and damp to say the least. Community Soap Box in our Summer 2017 edition highlighted residents concerns about traffic, parking and visibility in Crofft y Genau, St Fagans village. It seems as though residents concerns have not brought about change. The piece from our youngest contributor to date (page 7) shows an astute awareness of the issue. You might consider supporting the petition (see page 28). This is an issue not only for the village residents but also for the wider community. For example, those of us who undertake the perilous journey from Parc Rhydlafar through the village to get to work or the shops at Culverhouse Cross will certainly have a view.’ In our series ‘Times gone by’ we take a look at Ely Racecourse which gives us time to reflect on not only just how times have changed but also how fortunate we are to live in such a pleasant area. Our newsletter is supported by advertising from businesses in our local community. Please do support our advertisers. Their help is invaluable in publishing our magazine in support of the Village Hall.

  • North West Cardiff Group
    North West Cardiff Group Responding to the concerns of our communities Creigiau Danescourt Gwaelod y Garth Groesfaen Llandaff Llantrisant Miskin Pentyrch Pontyclun Radyr & Morganstown St Fagans By Email to [email protected] February 3 2021 NORTH WEST CARDIFF GROUP COMMENTS RE CARDIFF REPLACEMENT LDP REVIEW REPORT 1. NWCG welcomes the opportunity to comment on the proposal to prepare a Replacement LDP - as the current one is not fit for purpose. We urge the Council to take on board our views, and the views of other resident and community groups. The Replacement LDP needs to set a new direction for development of the City, otherwise there is no point in wasting £1m on preparing it. 2. We have the following comments: 2.1 Cardiff’s Replacement LDP (RLDP) should take account of the regional context. In the absence of an SDP the reviews of LDPs across the region need to be synchronised. 2.2 The Council should confirm the origin of statistics used in plan preparation, to help consultees assess the basis for the policies proposed. 2.3 Para 2.48 quotes the latest household and population projections from Welsh Government. For Cardiff these are 8% lower for population and 10% lower for household formation than in the LDP. These are significant changes from a year ago - when the household formation rate was reported to be - para 2.35 of the February 2020 Review report - 5% lower than previously by 2026. The Council must make a judgement based on those projections and other relevant factors to produce a new LDP that helps create a more live-able and sustainable City taking into account the current very large housing land bank (24k - para 3.19).

  • Cardiff Council Cyngor Caerdydd Cabinet Meeting
    Agenda Item 10 CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD CABINET MEETING: 21 SEPTEMBER 2017 ACTIVE TRAVEL INTEGRATED NETWORK MAP STRATEGIC PLANNING AND TRANSPORT (COUNCILLOR CARO WILD) AGENDA ITEM:10 DIRECTOR CITY OPERATIONS Reason for this Report 1. This report is to enable Cabinet Members to consider the Active Travel Integrated Network Map (INM) and seeks Cabinet approval to submit the INM to Welsh Government for approval, as required by the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. The engagement and consultation plan for the Draft INM was approved by Cabinet on 15th December 2016. 2. The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 places a requirement on local authorities in Wales to plan active travel routes and demonstrate continuous improvement in local routes and facilities for active travel. The mechanism through which local authorities are required to plan their active travel routes is the Existing Route Map (ERM) and Integrated Network Map (INM). 3. The ERM sets out existing active travel routes which have been audited using the Audit Tool in the Welsh Government Active Travel Design Guide and have achieved an audit score of 70% or above. This use of the Audit Tool is a prescribed requirement of Welsh Government. 4. The first ERM for Cardiff was submitted to Welsh Government and approved in April 2016 following stakeholder engagement and a 12 week period of public consultation. 5. The INM which is the subject of this report, sets out the plans of the local authority to develop or improve active travel routes over the next 15 years. It includes short to medium term schemes (within the next 5 years) which are clearly defined and have a clear intention for delivery subject to funding, and longer term schemes which are more aspirational and speculative and as such are less clearly defined.

For the benefit of all those present, she asked that everyone introduce themselves. 18.06.01 – Declaration of Interests No interests were declared. 18.06.02 – Minutes of the Annual General Meeting and the full Council Meeting both held on 3rd May 2018 Members approved the Minutes and the Chairman signed them accordingly. 18.06.03 – Matters arising from the Minutes (not included elsewhere on the Agenda) The Clerk referred to Minute No. 18.05.03 – Matters Arising in which he had pointed out that one element of the new Members’ allowances provision had changed. He had sought clarification from the Independent Review Panel and initially received conflicting advice. It has now been confirmed that under Determination 45 (costs incurred on IT, ink, stationery, etc.) the Council can only pay the sum of £150 (not any less) and that if it resolves to pay it then it must pay it to all Members (though each Member can decline to accept it). Several Members commented that this seems absurd. The Clerk was asked to seek advice from One Voice Wales and to clarify whether the Determinations of the Panel were mandatory or simply guidelines.
