WAG wasting more money….

[goats]

The Roath cycle path isn't a Welsh Government project.

Oh…oh that’s ok then cause the wag don’t usually waste much do they. Even worse, it’s Cardiff council then is it? Who will then tell us bin collection is once a month

For a start there is no such entity as the ‘WAG’. It’s the WG and has been for years. Secondly I agree that the Roath cycle path is largely unnecessary (given that there are two parallel roads and existing paths in the rec) and that it is costing far too much. Added to the feeder canal cost this project puts Cardiff Council in a bad light.

The problems with the museum building should be blamed on the people running Amgueddfa Cymru or their predecessors. They must have known that these problems would occur and are now in panic mode. The main building (like next door City Hall) is Grade I listed so eternally safe from demolition or substantial development. Amgueddfa Cymru and Cardiff Council should have bid for and allocated City Deal money to renovate these buildings. £3 million of this money went to the Canal Quarter and it would have been better spent on those two buildings in the Civic Centre.

Anyway, the £67 billion being spent on HS2 (with around £3-4 billion coming from Welsh tax payers) is a far bigger scandal. When the line is up and running it will negatively impact the economy of Wales but we will have helped to pay for our impoverishment. This is orders of magnitude more incompetent and unfair than anything that the WG or CC can mess up.
