WAG wasting more money….

Re: WAG wasting more money….

Opening up the city centre? It’s already open. If anything, this canal closes off certain routes and makes it more difficult to cross Churchill Way.

And having 3 inches of water at the bottom of a concrete culvert is probably the least attractive water feature in any city I’ve ever visited. The design and implementation of this scheme has been pretty crap so far.

It's a lot more than 3 inches deep

If Swansea City Centre had a canal in the main shopping area they could open up they would

In Cardiff the locals moan and send letters to Wales Online

I took this photo in late January. There was about 3 inches in water in there at the time. On each and every subsequent visit (including last Saturday night) there was a similar level of water in the canal.

If the canal was too deep they wouldn't be able to see all the hire bikes dumped in it....not that Cardiff are likely to get another contract after the last two just ended up with bikes being trashed. The main reason for the cycle paths not being used is there are no bike hire schemes and haven't been since January this year.

Re: WAG wasting more money….

The feeder canal project will be a very good long term plan of opening up the city centre

It's absolutely wasted being covered by concrete

Being by the water is good

Have you actually seen it ? - it's about 20 feet long, a concrete eyesore and they seem to have forgotten Churchill way is a like a wind tunnel and is usually in shadow due to high rise buildings all around it. It is the biggest waste of money since the 89,000,000 bus station , which was about 12 years behind schedule....

3 inches my arse

I fish in the Dock feeder canal in bute Park and what makes it flow is the fact there is often loads of water coming into it , off the taff

As its often raining in autumn , winter and spring

And that's why it was built

The fact you don't like looking at it is irrelevant

Doesn't sound like support is imminent.

Re: WAG wasting more money….

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. Ł3 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 Ł67 billion being spent on HS2 (with around Ł3-4 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.

How much went on to that little puddle they dug out on thee canal quarter? 3 million….christ alive.

It’s a joke….that money could have been spent in much better vanity project, you can barely even see water it’s so small….

I refer the gentleman to the reply given earlier

If the rain is heavy the gate is opened at blackweir Bridge to take excess water off the river taff , into the feeder canal which empties out at but east dock , Atlantic wharf

If you walk past the canal that's been uncovered if it's not flowing water either it hasn't been raining much or the gate hasn't been opened

Re: WAG wasting more money….

Cardiff wouldn't be the major port it was and is and would just be a small place if it wasn't for the feeder canal

By taking excess water off the taff and directing it into the docks it meant that the docks that built the city would be able to operate 24 hours a day ......and the industry that relied on the docks knew the water would never get too low and dry out ......so cardiff had an advantage over many other British ports

It's an incredible part of the history of Cardiff and in years to come a quarter of the city centre will be seeing the canal

I know it well, I’ve spent a lot of mis spent youth time in the castle grounds, it goes under kingsway along by the city hall then under Queen street to Churchill way, then through Atlantic wharf where I once lived and stumbled along it many blurry nights walking home.
