Controversial plans to build 45,000 new homes in Cardiff will be discussed tomorrow in Canton, allowing the public to voice their views.
18,250 of these houses could be built on greenfield (previously undeveloped) space by 2026, as Cardiff Councils latest report predicts a 27% increase in the city’s population by this date.
However, a pressure group has been set up by Neil McAvoy, the council’s Plaid Cymru leader, who says the Labour party are caving into big business and developers.
‘We don’t need to overcrowd a very small city whose basic charm is based on its greenery and intimacy’, says McAvoy.
Tomorrow the campaign ‘Save our Capital Cardiff’, will meet at the Duke of Clarence pub in Canton at 6.30.
