The council needs to be mindful that people are giving their time up for free,\u201d said Mr King.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe theory sounds good but the issue is who is going to maintain and look after it,\u201d he added.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A council spokesperson\u00a0said: \u201cAs is stated on the <a href=\"https:\/\/greenergrangetown.wordpress.com\/\">Greener Grangetown <\/a>website, there is an 18-month contract in place with the contractors to look after the maintenance. It will be looked after by the council\u2019s parks department after that period for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The council cabinet has also reassured residents about parking in Grangetown.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cCommuter parking is a significant issue for Grangetown residents so we are planning to introduce 50% residents parking on Aber Street, Abercynon Street, Bargoed Street, Clydach Street, Taff Terrace, Ystrad Street and the main stretch of Taff Embankment,\u201d said Councillor Ramesh Patel, cabinet member for transport, planning and sustainability.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some residents, however, remain unconvinced. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cQuite a lot of people from Corporation Road park on this street. Most houses here have about two cars,\u201d said Emily Lowery, of Taff Terrace, Grangetown. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr Hurlstone agreed.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cTaff Terrace is the one street with the exception of Aber street that is two way. I don\u2019t think that they have taken that into account. It\u2019s just not wide enough for two cars to pass. Having this as the only way out to Corporation Road is crazy,\u201d he said.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cTaff Embankment is absolutely chockablock full of cars so two cars cannot pass. The guys who work over the bay park here and walk, or open their boots and take out their folding bikes and cycle the rest of the way.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14975\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14975\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14975\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Traffic often backs up on Taff Embankment, especially near traffic lights.\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1536x1149.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-2048x1532.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1400x1047.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14975\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Traffic often backs up on Taff Embankment, especially near traffic lights.\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1536x1149.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-2048x1532.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/11\/Traffic-Grangetown-1400x1047.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript> <strong>Traffic often backs up on Taff Embankment, especially near traffic lights.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some residents are worried that the 50% parking plan could create other problems. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHow will people without a great deal of disposable income cope with the permit prices?
