\u201cNow, more than ever, we are seeing the benefits of local shopping and these projects demonstrate the commitment we have to secure the future of these important community shopping centres.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tudor Street has adopted a one-way system for 11 months while the works take place to ensure that the scheme is completed on time and within budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The street development work has decreased footfall in the area which has negatively impacted some businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owner of Good Game Caf\u00e9, Adam Wood-Gaiger, 35, from Cardiff said: \u201cIt\u2019s great that they\u2019re trying to rejuvenate this area, but it\u2019s causing a lot of chaos to the businesses around here at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has negatively affected our business through a lack of footfall. People just aren\u2019t willing to come down this street at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Wood-Gaiger added that road works have also disrupted food delivery services such as Uber Eats, as some drivers are now reluctant to travel along Tudor Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tudor Street traders have met with the council to express concerns regarding trading levels while the work is carried out, but have not been given financial compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNew shop frontages on Tudor Street.

She said: \u201cWe\u2019ve had a meeting with the council and requested whether there was any compensation or financial help, and they said no. Surely if they\u2019re going to make a big \u00a35m pledge for regeneration in this area, they should have budgeted for businesses that are already running?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“How are we meant to survive and pay ourselves when we\u2019ve already suffered two years of Covid? How deep do they expect our pockets to be? We\u2019ve already used our savings up on sustaining the business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local councillor for Riverside and Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transport, Caro Wild said: \u201cThere is no doubt that the works, and the ongoing lack of city centre workers has left many of the businesses really struggling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have been meeting with them regularly to offer our support and try and fix problems and we would urge people to support their local businesses by visiting the brilliant shops and businesses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nVibrant external regeneration on Tudor Street.

Owner of Neighbourhood Kitchen & Cocktail, Tudor Barber, 33, said: \u201cTudor Street has looked the same for the past 30 years so it\u2019s great to see some new development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the development is giving an attractive footway into town back and forth which is going to be really beneficial for us. The development is starting to connect this area to the centre which has been neglected for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
