He said: \u201cThe question is, how can 18th Century infrastructure deal with a 20th Century problem? People won\u2019t look back to look at the causes of where we are now.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of Mr Hicks\u2019 major concerns was about the council not addressing the problems &#8212; not only with the pavements, but with the roads as well. He said: \u201cWhat the council seem to do is they don\u2019t sort the issue, they just put more tarmac in the potholes and all you\u2019re doing then is compounding the weight.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr Hicks\u2019 also criticised the amount of development happening in Cathays and feels this is also part of what is badly affecting the roads and pavements. Since the beginning of 2017, 19 planning applications for development in the Cathays area have been submitted to Cardiff Council.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18281\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18281\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18281\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"Scaffolding and skips on Coburn Street take up parking space for at least two cars.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18281\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18281\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"Scaffolding and skips on Coburn Street take up parking space for at least two cars.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/coburn-street-photoshopped.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript> Scaffolding and skips on Coburn Street take up parking space for at least two cars.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is not the first time Cathays residents have been critical of building works in the area. Last year, 50 Cathays residents signed a petition to stop a developer from\u00a0building student accommodation for 29 people. This developer has since appealed against this decision.<\/span><br \/>\nThese concerns were also shared by Mike Murray, 68, who has lived on Coburn Street for 40 years. He said: \u201cThe biggest problem I think is that the roads are not built to deal with this level of use. That\u2019s why you have flooding, not because the drains can\u2019t cope but because of all the building work.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, others feel that it might be up to people living in the Cathays area to be more proactive.<br \/>\nCeri Davies, 40, works as part of Keep Cathays Tidy and feels it might be more important for residents to campaign for more sustainable urban drainage.<br \/>\nSustainable urban drainage can be things like \u2018permeable pavement\u2019, which is a type of paving which is able to filter excess water so that it drains away, rather than collecting in large puddles.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18276\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18276\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"One of the concerns from residents is the uneven filling of potholes with tarmac.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18276\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"One of the concerns from residents is the uneven filling of potholes with tarmac.\" width=\"960\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac-293x219.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/03\/Coburn-Street-tarmac.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript> One of the concerns from residents is the uneven filling of potholes with tarmac.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr Davies said: \u201cThere are areas where there could be far greater use of modern building techniques to address these issues, and some of them could be about using the right type of planting. Ideally I\u2019d want to lobby developments to have sustainable urban drainage systems, and part of Keep Wales Tidy is raising awareness of this.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\nCouncillor Chris Weaver, one of three Labour councillors in Cathays, said: \u201cWe do repair where there is a need to and other areas are not as straightforward to maintain. Some of the lack of drainage can be about road design so you have to do what you can to mitigate that.\u201d<br \/>\nHe also added that in order to deal with these problems, people need to report them to bring attention to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CATHAYS residents have complained about the council\u2019s upkeep of the pavements and roads in the area.
