It has densely populated areas with rented accommodation all concentrated in a small area of the city, which is part of the problem.<br \/>\n\u201cI do have sympathy for the council; their budget gets cut by Westminster, but you wonder if they care about Cathays residents, because they\u2019re mostly students and don\u2019t pay council tax.<br \/>\n\u201cBlitz cleans have happened before and they\u2019re good at the time, but afterwards the problems (of littering and rubbish accumulating) resurface.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Cardiff-wide Love Where You Live campaign received a funding increase of \u00a350,000 in the council\u2019s annual budget.
