    Bloody idiots.
    The whole scheme was a cock-up from the start.

    Should have had plans finalised before demolishing the old one.

    Prime land to be used for student accommodation is such a ridiculous idea. The incompetence of the Council knows no bounds. It wouldn't surprise me if the bus station was moved away from the City Centre and the Central Railway Station - as daft an idea as that to house students in the most valuable land in the City.

    It's a ridiculous place for a bus station anyway. !

    Every time there is something on in the "White Elephant", that side of town shuts down.

    This should be looked into, they have/are rezoning the bottom end of Queen Street from commercial to residential, with the intention of turning the Capital Centre into student accommodation. It won't be long before the whole of town turns into one big student campus! Somebody has noticed how lucrative student housing is with the current high house prices, and decided to grab a piece of the action. And to add insult to injury, the NEW posh residents around Womanby Street want the music shut down because music is audible I suppose they could turn it into the mime capital of the world, but it will probably be more student accommodation!

    After the protests, the Womanby Street development was withdrawn last month.

    Yup, Cathays is sadly a lost cause, let's not lose the rest of Cardiff.

    Better than that. The derelict building next to Clwb Ifor Bach, which was going to be developed as flats, is going to be used for expansion of the club

    it wasn't the council who want to change the plans to PBSA, it is rightacres.

    Goodway has a good track record of delivery and i am pretty sure he will see this one through. We will probably end up with something better than already planned. lets not forget NR are looking to revamp the station in its next funding cycle
