Today has been very grey all day so here’s some #Spring colour from Alexandra Gardens #Cardiff yesterday #BloomScrolling

From this weekend, South Wales Police will be trialling “semi-permanent” facial recognition cameras covering the entire area of #Cardiff city centre. Now I’m not suggesting anything, but it’s still totally valid to wear a face covering in public

Protect yourselves and your family. #MaskUp

Deiseb/Petition:

Achubwch ieithoedd modern yn #PrifysgolCaerdydd

Save modern languages at #CardiffUniversity

My sympathies with all facing redundancy. I do a French evening class and my tutors have been wonderful. In a world where we need more connection, the idea that we scrap modern languages in #Cardiff is a disgrace. Please support this petition.

#Wales: Cardiff’s New Bus Interchange Welcomes 9,000 Passengers Daily

Since opening in June, #Cardiff Bus Interchange now serves 9,000 passengers a day. With 14 new services added in September, weekly bus numbers have risen significantly. First #Cymru will join in January 2025, increasing services to 31. The Welsh Government-funded interchange is part of a broader effort to improve public transport in the southeast Metro region.

1/2. 40 mins between videos, the 1st video the waters were only on the Blackweir playing fields, the 2nd video creeping over the Pontcanna side playing fields. The waters were not at peak flow then #Cardiff. Pontypridd flooded again.

5 years I’ve been making the case for #NFM & #HedgesAndEdges. #Wales approx 80% plus farmland. The Sustainable Farming Scheme can begin to reduce peak flows for downstream community.

PATRICIA MAUD (Patti) FLYNN (1937 - 2020), musician, author, activist
'Patti Flynn was a strong advocate and campaigner for Black History. As the landscape of the old Tiger Bay was changing, with the regeneration of what became known as Cardiff Bay, in 1988, with help from the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation, Butetown History & Arts Centre was created. Its purpose was to capture and celebrate the area's rich heritage and Patti made a considerable contribution to its educational work, in particular, using music, writing and storytelling.
As well as performing, Patti loved writing and was passionate about researching Black History and culture. In 2003 she collaborated with photographer Mathew Manning to produce Fractured Horizon [...]. Together, through pictures and words, they confront the past and present of #Cardiff docklands. -- Bet Davies
