TRADERS have welcomed plans to build a new leisure quarter and restaurant in Cardiff Bay.
\nCardiff Council are set to regenerate Britannia Park after bringing land along the water’s edge into public ownership and outlining plans for a new restaurant and leisure quarter\u00a0 which will bring more investment to the area.
\nThe area that has been bought by the council for an undisclosed sum is situated at either side of the road which runs between the Norweigian Church and The Waterguard Pub. The land fronts onto the Bay at one side and Roath Lock, opposite the BBC studios, at the other.
\nThe plans have been welcomed by Waterguard Pub manager Kieran Howell, 22. He said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s like a ghost town on this side of the Bay, there\u2019s always more things going on over the other side. It would benefit all businesses around here.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s loads of potential over here in the Bay, but we need something else, more activities to do over here because people will just walk past us at the Waterguard \u2013 there just nothing to entice people over this side of the Bay.\u201d
\nCardiff Council wants to secure all of the Bay edge into public ownership which they hope will help bring business back to Cardiff Bay.
\nA spokesperson for Cardiff Council said: \u201cThe council wants to ensure the public always has access to the Bay edge and that the primary use of the Bay remains protected as a leisure destination.\u201d
