Alt Cardiff ask the general public what they think of Cardiff’s conservation areas and how helpful they really are for the city<\/h2>\n

It is no secret that much of central Cardiff has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. Old buildings have fallen, and new ones have risen in their place.<\/span><\/p>\n

To preserve those historic buildings that remain in the city centre, Cardiff Council has a number of conservation areas to preserve places of \u201cspecial architectural or historic interest<\/a>\u201d, with consultation underway for an additional one in\u00a0<\/span>Guildford Crescent<\/a>\u00a0near Churchill Way.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alt.Cardiff asked members of the public what their views were on Cardiff Council\u2019s attempts to preserve the area\u2019s architectural heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Brian Hodges, 52, Roofer from Hay-on-Wye<\/b><\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got no faith in Cardiff Council whatsoever, having dealt with them and understanding what they do and what they say is two different things. But keeping them out of it, I think that traditional buildings in Cardiff should be maintained at all times.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Jonathan Jones, 29, magician from Llanelli<\/b><\/p>\n

“I think if they want to restore a building, they could turn it into some sort of tourist attraction that might bring more people in. But if that\u2019s not going to happen to it then there\u2019s no real need, because at the end of the day it\u2019s just a building. There\u2019s still lots of significant buildings around Cardiff that have been saved, and it\u2019s just land that could be used for something, for example a homeless shelter.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Andrew Chandler, 34, Security Officer from Cardiff<\/b><\/p>\n

“Cardiff has actually undergone a massive change over the last two decades especially. I actually watched the old Hayes get ripped down. And it was heartbreaking. Because that was where my mum used to take me when I was younger. It had the library, it had the Toys R Us, it had the ice rink. And when they moved the ice rink down to the Bay, it kind of wasn\u2019t the same. And a lot of the old buildings in town should be preserved. They\u2019re part of Cardiff\u2019s history.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Dom George, 23, restaurant employee, Roath<\/b><\/p>\n

“Well I\u2019m not really sure because I\u2019ve not been in Cardiff very long. So since I\u2019ve not been exposed to how it was in the past, I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s changed. Since I\u2019ve lived here it\u2019s always been like this.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Emily Haddrell, 23, geotechnical engineer, Cathays<\/b><\/p>\n

“From what I know, it used to be a really industrial city, so I guess a lot of the stuff that they redeveloped was possibly a bit disused. But if you can save the ones that are nice and architecturally interesting then that\u2019s probably good though.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Martin Hayfield, 22, retail representative from Cardiff<\/b><\/p>\n

“Bring in the new, keep a bit of the old too so people visit. Because no-one wants to visit a huge metropolitan city where everything\u2019s new, unless it\u2019s Dubai and the like I guess. I think it should try to stay to its current roots as a city.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
