Community interest group Green City Events\u00a0is campaigning to stop a derelict park in Splott from being sold for redevelopment<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Community interest group Green City Events met with cabinet minister Russell Goodway on Friday to discuss the status of the campaign and decision will be reached by Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea was proposed by Rebecca Clark, 36, director of Green City Events in 2015. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The council has agreed to review the piece of land, assess its value for resale and consider how the local organisation could use the land for community benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rebecca and the Green City Events team have a clear trajectory for Railway Street Park: \u00a0\u201cThe land has more value as a community asset, socially, economically and environmentally.\u201d Rebecca explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed space includes a large community garden, a chicken coop, beehives, car parking, polytunnels and a kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n

The project was inspired by a need for greener spaces in Cardiff, Rebecca said: \u201cThere aren\u2019t any exciting green spaces in Splott, our vision would present opportunities to connect with our community, offering space for local business, entrepreneurs and social business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a positive development, Green City Events met with cabinet members on Friday to discuss the status of the campaign and will provide a decision by Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The council has agreed to review the piece of land, assess its value for resale and consider how the local organisation could use the land for community benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The team believes the space is too close to the railway to be developed for housing or permanent business use, it also has accessibility issues that would make it difficult for residential or corporate access.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elliot James, 19, a resident of Splott believes that Green City Events should take control of the area: \u201cI\u2019ve been following the project for months now. I really do hope Green City Cardiff are successful as I feel that there will be endless rewards benefiting the community.\u201d He explained. <\/span><\/p>\n
