The new councillors have a “six point plan” on their website. The plan includes:
“We will work to see that our roads and footpaths are properly maintained, kept litter free and are safe for pedestrians with a sensibly integrated and safe cycle network.”
“We will continue to work with local schools, seeking to ensure that they receive all the support and equipment they need, to provide the best education possible for your children.”
“We will seek to retain a waste recycling centre in north Cardiff, in Wedal Road, or in another location just as close, for easy access and establish methods to prevent and quickly remove flytipping.”
You can get in touch with the councillors at intouch@wandt2017.wales.
