    I'm back and forth kent so spent half the time in Cardiff the other half in kent i haven't noticed much building of homes there
    My mother lives at the bottom end by Ely Bridge, traffic is already congested there and the additional 700 houses won't help alleviate the situation. The council missed a trick linking the A4232 and Western Avenue at Ely Bridge roundabout, would have eased congestion through Ely, Caerau and Canton, especially when you consider all the development planned in the Creigau area also. Now that can never be achieved with The Mill development.

    The new road that links The Mill to Ely Bridge is intended for use by service vehicles only and not for cars. But I am pretty sure that will never be the case. The proposal is that the site of The Mill which boasts, 1 school, a milk factory, doctors, pharmacy and other businesses should all come in and out through one route, which is the crossroads where Broad Street meets Sanatorium road. Not to mention another housing estate with 300 homes that already make use of the very same crossroads for again the only entry and exit of their estate. So that's 1,000 homes, schools, businesses all feeding to one set of lights.

    I say to my mother she should move but both her and my step dad are happy there so no need to push the issue. They've improved the cycle path at least and make it easier to join onto the Ely trail, plus the walk to the stadium becomes a lot quicker. So there are positives for them.

    Great place 👍
    Caerphilly. One of the roughest places in Wales. Makes Merthyr look posh.

    Ideally I'd like to stay in Cardiff, but I see what's going on around Ely roundabout and think I'm better off going to Tumpy Land. Essentially, there are two ways of getting to Cowbridge Road West from where I live in Fairwater - via the Roundabout or the level crossing at St. Fagans. For weeks, the latter has been like the traffic you get at rush hour between the hours of 8am and 6pm and the latter was closed for a few days last week. During that time, a journey to, say, the Aldis on Cowbridge Road was taking about twenty five minutes when normally it would take ten - in the end, I decided to drive through the side roads and over the level crossing before St. Fagans to get to the Drope and come out by what was the Culver!

    That's what driving in west Cardiff is like before all of the houses to be built by Ely Paper Mill are filled and before the Plasdwr estate is built and yet you get a smug dickhead on that Jason Mohammad programme a few weeks ago saying everything will be fine - of course, we've had stories like this

    True, but very rough. Mind you nowhere near as rough as Merthyr, the capital of the Work Shy

    I'd sooner live there and similar places like Rhondda, Aberdare or Merthyr than most areas of Cardiff that are far more, er, culturally diverse. Mind, on my last visit to Caerphilly a year ago a bloke was stabbed on its main street in the middle of the afternoon, and its Wetherspoon further up the hill was the smallest ever; more pokier than The Great Western, even.

    I think everyone accepts the poorer and more socially deprived an area is then the higher the proportion of residents who are anti social chavs, pikeys, pot bellied single mothers and other smelly b'stards most of whom are on drugs.
