People living in Gwaelod-y-Garth feel \u2018isolated\u2019 and \u2018cut off\u2019 from Cardiff with no bus service to take them to the shops or the doctor’s surgery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019VE never heard so many of my generation saying, \u2018I’m hoping I’m not here much longer,\u2019 because we feel like we\u2019re on the scrap heap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Taff Valley, just north of Cardiff, Patricia Stone cradles a cup of tea in her hands, wrapped in a woollen shawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her words linger in the air: \u201cA lot of people feel like that, a lot of my friends. You’re just cut off here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
