There has been a drastic decline in people cutting through Cardiff city centre’s famous arcades and markets, according to a report published this week by Cardiff City Council. The report documented how only 10% of the 90,000 people who visit the High Street each week are visiting the market.
Traders are up in arms and have been airing their dismay at the situation. Dawn, who’s worked for the market’s Bread Stall for over six years, said of the Council, “They’ve just isolated us” while Alan from Kelly Records believes the Council, “do nothing to promote it.”
Dave Harris of Cardiff Council was quick to respond, “We’ve looked into it and these findings. Once Cabinet have reached a conclusion this will be dealt with in the appropriate manner.”
