Chair of the Society, Nerys Lloyd-Pierce says that Cardiff Council are planning to sell part of Gleider Way, Bridge Road Open Space, Coed Y Caeuau, Treseder Way verges and Flaxland Avenue woodland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flaxland Avenue woodland would be at risk for a second time as it was due to be auctioned off by the Council at the start of December. But, the locals put together a petition to preserve the woodland area and the Council withdrew the space from auction in early December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The treatment of trees is a priority for Cardiff Civic Society too. Nerys Lloyd-Pierce told Cardiff News Plus that some of the trees planted would be cut down if the sales went ahead. \u201cAs Climate Change is accelerating, we need our green spaces more than ever,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Andrew Flynn is Reader of Environmental Policy and Planning at Cardiff University says the loss of green spaces will not only effect residents but the wildlife too. \u201cUrban wildlife will colonise these spaces \u2013 they\u2019re really important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
