Residents have opposed the works since planning permission was granted in April 2016, and believe that the calculated risk of flooding does not justify the removal of the 32 trees earmarked for felling. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26433\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26433\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-26433 \" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-500x667.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-293x391.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2.png 697w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26433 \" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-500x667.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2-293x391.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2018\/02\/Roath-Park-2.png 697w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/noscript> One of the felled trees, from Phase 1 and 2 of the NRW works Photo Credit: Angharad Jones<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mr McEvoy criticised the treatment of residents by NRW during the project consultation in December 2017.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said: \u201cI went to a meeting with the minister where residents were not allowed in.

According to one member, who said \u201cthey would have to listen to us\u201d, NRW need to explain how they ended up with an unpopular scheme being progressed when there may be other schemes that would benefit from the \u00a3500,000 funding.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Cardiffian was unable to reach Tamsin Davies for comment.
