Comments on this blog!
- Anonymous said... Are you aware of the recent proposals to demolish Eglwys Newydd Primary school and the Whitchurch High School Upper site (Penlline Road) under the school reorganisation plan?The Primary and High School are against this and would welcome your support.
- Anonymous said.My father was the man who built Fairacre. I am incensed by this proposal. If anyone wishes to contact me - please post here and I will check back - with a view to making contact.
- Bernard said...I hope this is the beginning of the end of garden grabbing in Cardiff and we can preseerve these old surburbs as they are for future generations to enjoy.God knows we have had enough of the character ripped out of the city already.Well done to all involved
- Bernie said...I think this current trend in Cardiff by developers of knocking down perfectly good old dwellings of character to cram as many new dwellings as they can get away on the plot must be stopped.It will completely destroy the pleasant appearance of our older suburbs and in the process we will lose valuabe trees bushes etc.which are vital habitat for the survival of our rapidly diminishing wildlife and which are essential for the pollenation of the flowers, veg, fruit ect.in our gardens.It will be a crying shame if we allow these greedy developers to get away with criminal destruction of the pleasant area we live in. We must do all we can to stop it.
- Hector Superb "Good article, like the blog and like the campaign. Good luck with the campaign "
- I drove past this house on the weekend and cannot see what the fuss is all about.It is not a listed building type house, not really aesthetically pleasing and after seeing what is being done with the old nursing home next to it, cannot possibly see what harm this development will do to the centre of Llandaff that hasnt already been done by other developers.
- jelv said... There is a 10 Downing Street petition running about this:
- Julie Morgan, MP for Cardiff North "Revaluation has already happened in Wales and so this does not apply."
- Peter Cooper said.This is a *really* well put together blog, well done!
- Robyn Goodman said... We must fight this trend, otherwise the character of Beulah Road will be ruined as more and more developers buy up bungalows, demolish them and replace them with overpriced buildings that are squeezed into their plots. Unless we are prepared to challenge this behaviour the Council will assume that we are all perfectly content to see opportunistic builders destroy attractive and traditional buildings for a quick buck. It is important that the community has a voice and that we use it!
