It took a riot, for seasoned politicians to acknowledge that decades of neglect had contributed a breakdown in trust between the community of Ely and authorities. The ONE opportunity to build a more resilient relationship where local people feel represented and they do this👇

reports it being in the Butetown area of Cardiff. When other “marvellous” things happen in the same St it’s in “Cardiff Bay”. Whose “brand” are we protecting?
I wonder if today’s placards to save Cardiff’s Culture will one day be on display at The Cardiff Story Museum to tell the story of how one man’s vision for our city was enabled by spineless politicians, afraid to stand up for the communities they ‘represent’?
