We are going to cancel our AA membership today. First time in ten years we have called them to help us out and they refused, so poor

Today, @vaughangething asked @PrifWeinidog for an update on the delivery of the #CardiffParkway. We agree with Vaughan. We want Wales to be a place where ambitions are realised not simply discussed but actively delivered on.

This does need calling out more! No development is universally popular, but when BBC went looking for voxpops in St Mellons recently, trying to show 'both sides', they failed to find anyone opposed! The handful of individuals behind the Civic Society do not speak for Cardiff.
Great illustration how infrastructure and housing stuff is covered in Wales. New station announced after years of delays. Couple of lines from the developer. 8 (eight) paragraphs from Cardiff Civic Society saying it's an absolute disaster.

Absolutely elated. Grateful to @PrifWeinidog for shouldering the decision-making on the project, which now unlocks a transformation in public transport in East Cardiff, and enables '000s of high-tech jobs for the area, which we'll be including in our Investment Zone designation.
