 Once again the Community Council has managed to tempt Father Christmas to pay a special visit to our community! We now have his schedule for this evening (see below). The weather forecast is not too bad, so it should be a nice evening to pop out and wave hello to the great man! If you listen carefully, you will hear the music from his Christmas-disco enhanced sleigh - they you will see the bright lights of the contraption as it slides magically along! And don't forget our Chritmas lights competition! There are great prizes on offer - with a closing date of 23 December!

 Our city is growing and changing... We've received the correspondence, below, from Cardiff Council. We will be studying this latest set of consultation documents and preparing our response. If you have any views about the consultation, please let us know or you can contact Cardiff Council direct. Cardiff Council has prepared a Candidate Site Register, listing all the sites that have been submitted by developers for consideration in the replacement LDP. The register is currently for information only and does not form part of the consultation at this stage. Even so, residents will be interested to know that it includes two sites in Radyr and Morganstown, referred to as Goitre Fawr, Plasdŵr (shown here) and Radyr Station Car Park (shown here). Goitre Fawr was submitted by the Plymouth Estate and Redrow Homes as land suitable for 'residential-led mixed use development forming an extension to the existing Plasdŵr allocation'. You can see the extent of the site on the plan shown below. Radyr Station Car Park was submitted by the Welsh Government for 'transit orientated development through the reconfiguration of the car park to deliver transport integration measures and potential redevelopment for employment / residential uses'. Here's the correspondence: Dear Consultee We are preparing a new Local Development Plan (LDP) for Cardiff to replace the existing LDP. The Replacement LDP will help shape Cardiff for the next 15 years to 2036 so it is vital that we involve as many stakeholders as possible in the consultation. The aim of the LDP is to ensure the right developnment happens in the right place at the right time, benefitting communities and the economy and setting out which areas need to be protected. An important role of the LDP is to set out how Cardiff will change to accommodate development needs over the plan period 2021 -2036. The LDP must set out the right level of growth for Cardiff over the plan period based on available evidence and identify possible ways of providing for this growth. At this stage we are keen to get views on:
We have set out options in the Strategic Options Consultation Paper which is available on our website at www.Cardiffldp.co.uk. You can also find out more information by visiting our Virtual Consultation Room at www.cardiffldp.co.uk Consultation on the Strategic Options runs from Tuesday 30th November to Tuesday 8th February 2022. We are consulting early in the process to share our initial thinking and allow time to consider feedback ahead of further stages of engagement. For more information please visit our Virtual Consultation Roomand have your say by completing our online survey by Tuesday 8th February 2022. Please note that the Candidate Site Register, which lists all the sites that have been submitted for consideration in the replacement LDP, is now available to view on our website atwww.cardiffldp.co.uk. This Candidate Site Register is for information only and does not form part of the consultation at this stage. We welcome correspondence in Welsh and English. Correspondence received in Welsh will be answered in Welsh and will not lead to delay. Your comments will be acknowledged and also be reported, in summary, to a future meeting of the Council. If you have any questions please email the LDP Team Yours faithfully Simon Gilbert Head of Planning  Goitre Fawr  Radyr Station Car Park  A familiar and depressing sight... As readers will know, we've had a NextBike station in Radur for some time now - on Station Road.
Sadly, the service has been suspended, following an extraordinary amount of theft and vandalism of the bikes. Since the bikes were introduced in Cardiff in 2018, 300 bikes have been stolen, with a 160 of those bikes being taken since August last year. 260 bikes have also been scrapped due to vandalism, ranging from bikes being set on fire or snapped in half, to being dumped in rivers. What, exactly, is the world coming to?! In an attempt to tackle the problem, Cardiff Youth Service are working with NextBike to find out why this is happening and what can be done to reduce the thefts and vandalism of the bikes. You can take part in their survey, to help with this work. The survey can be found here.  We're looking to hire a new Senior Clerk to work for our Council!

 Do you cycle, or walk, a lot? Have your say in Cardiff Council's active travel plans! Cardiff Council is now consulting on the draft Active Travel Network Map (ATNM), which sets out existing and proposed routes for walking and cycling within the Cardiff Council area. The ATNM includes: • routes that already meet the appropriate design standards of an active travel route (labelled “existing routes”) • routes which require improvement or new routes that are needed (labelled “proposed routes”) • a schedule of schemes which sets out what improvements to proposed routes are required, where this information is already known By following this link you can see a map showing how all the existing and proposed routes will create a network across Radyr and Morganstown. We understand the map to show no proper walking or cycling routes in our community - with proposals (dotted lines) for new, proper routes. And this link contains detailed maps showing the existing and proposed routes within each Council ward, and a schedule of schemes to accompany the maps for each ward. Please take this opportunity to let Cardiff Council know what you think about active travel in our community.  See this map in greater detail by following the link, above, to the R&M consultation |
