Planners can however confirm the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visitors will only be allowed to park one car next to their caravan during the festival. Once visitors have parked their car on-site, they will be prohibited from moving their vehicle unless they are leaving the site for good and they will not be permitted back on site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Eisteddfod is charging visitors who wish to bring a second car to Cardiff, and they will have to park the second vehicle in an allocated car park, which is away from the caravan site itself. The festival will be briefing all visitors on this prior to the festival, and will not tolerate people moving their vehicles onsite during the week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Eisteddfod is keen for the shuttle buses to run from Sophia Gardens to the Bay, with an additional service running once or twice an hour from Western Avenue to the Bay to accommodate older, disabled and vulnerable visitors. Organisers are keen only to have works traffic running on the spine road from the entrance of the campsite to the caravan site, but this is yet to be fully considered by the council and agreed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The current plan indicates that the path to Blackweir will be closed, with a temporary path created to the right of the car park. This plan has been put in place to ensure that pedestrians and vehicles are kept away from each other for safety reasons.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Eisteddfod will employ a camping site event company for the period and a cleaning company will collect waste and rubbish on a daily basis. The site will be assessed before the start and at the end of the festival to ensure that it is returned to the council in a satisfactory condition.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cardiff Council have also confirmed that a bond will be secured to cover the costs of any reinstatement of the football pitches required post-event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PLANS to use Pontcanna Fields as an Eisteddfod campsite angered residents last week, now Cardiff Council have responded.
