This included a ground investigation report, a topographical survey, both carried out in March 2016, a development brief produced by Cardiff Council, a tree report and a drainage feasibility study.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The decision to close the site was made by the previous council administration and the current cabinet had promised that the centre would not close until a replacement one was found and was operational. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conservative councillor Jayne Cowan criticised the closure decision during a full council meeting held last night: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The real outrage is that those that allowed the promise to be made were in total control of the situation at the time,&#8221; she said. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;They allowed the Labour candidates to constantly repeat the promise that it would be kept open because they knew that no suitable site had been identified.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAll Labour candidates fought the election on that promise and all citizens have every right to see that delivered.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heather Ward lives in North Cardiff and is a regular user of the recycling centre. She said: \u201cCabinet member Graham Hinchey did a video only a month or so ago which said the site would &#8216;not be closing anytime soon&#8217; or before an alternative site in Cardiff North was found. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine how people are going to want to go all the way to Lamby Way when they only have a few things to go out.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26039\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26039\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-770x577.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-293x220.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video.png 1115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26039\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-770x577.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video-293x220.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/WedalRd-Video.png 1115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/noscript> Stills from the video made by Councillor Hinchey, where he confirmed the Wedal Road facility would remain open<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Steve Pellat lives in Heath and regularly uses the Wedal Road facility. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf they must close it, why not keep the land and build some much needed social housing or community health facility?
