Cardiff Council proposing to close Golf Club Lane

Cardiff Council is proposing to close Golf Club Lane to cars. Cyclists would still be able to use the lane. 

Cardiff's consultation document says that private cars using the lane create a real or perceived danger to pedestrians - and that there are very few opportunities for vehicles to pass each other. Cardiff goes on to say that, if closed, the lane would become a safe, pleasant leisure facility - and could form a good off-road cycling facility as part of the cycle network. They explain that private vehicles will have a convenient, alternative route to Radyr, via Heol Isaf.

​More information can be found in Welsh here.

And in English here. 

The consultation closes on 28 July - and any responses should be sent to transportprojects@cardiff.gov.uk.

​Some readers will know that we published a survey seeking views about this. You can take part here. As things stand, nine respondents (60%) think Golf Club Lane should not be closed - and six (40%) think it should be. Four of the 'no' responses were received in the early hours of 8 July.
