Actually looking forward to see if this outdoor seating works. Very interesting for the summer, but the rest of the year just seems impractical
The council have been trying to close Castle Street for years, they’ll use the excuse of Coronavirus to permanently SHUT IT OFF !!!!
Get the barstewards voted out ASSP, the sly little shits
I see that the green in front of the castle (the moat) is also being covered, bit of a hike from wherever you’ve bought your food or drink. Are there that many outlets on Duke St & Castle St anyway? Three pubs close by, The Rummer, The Goat Major (Bluebell) and Elevens (The Globe), what’s the sketch though? Carry a tray of beer from the bar to the green? Going to be interesting to see how it works, especially if the road reopens.
I’ve always wondered why the pubs along that stretch in front of the castle never seem to do that well, wide pavements and plenty of footfall, nice views of the castle and grounds but never take off. In fact most just close down like the castle arms and that huge unit that used to be a motor bike shop is still empty after 10 years or so.....it could be a great location for a pub or cafe
The Rummer is very popular, they dropped it to around Ł2 a pint a couple of years ago and it worked. Rammed in there before City games even though it’s nowhere near the ground. They have a singer now and again, not a bad venue now and no ridiculous prices.
All the shop owners on Castle St and in the arcades are complaining because it badly affects their business. They said that they hadn't been warned about it. The council said they had, the council sent letters to all the affected businesses on saturday afternoon.
I drove my wife into town this morning to catch the No 9 bus, when I got to the Westgate the road to Westgate street was closed. When I indicated to go that way a girl came over and said, 'The road's closed you can only get to Westgate street I told her that's where I wanted to go and she groaned moved the barriers for me and then put them all back. When I was waiting at the same lights to come out again she had the same performance with 3 other vehicles. There is no reason for them to be there. The council said the road was closed from the Angel. My wife waited over 30 minutes before the driver of another bus told her the No 9 wouldn't be stopping there because it normally came from Westgate street and it couldn't get through. There were no signs telling anyone because apparently the council didn't bother to tell the bus company until Saturday afternoon either.
I posted on the up-date thread about their incompetence regarding the market not being allowed to re-open, more waste of money.
I agree with blue Tit they are so anti-car they have tried every excuse they can think of to close the city off time and again.
now people are being told to use their cars to save contamination on public transport and they are still doing it.

The council were over the moon, when that frigging boat turned up and blocked Castle Street and they made NO ATTEMPTS TO MOVE IT.
They want traffic out of town, but if they close it permanently, it will only force traffic onto Cathedral Road
We should shut all roads in the centre, and give our fair City a chance to breathe, folk could walk safely , children could run , cafes could expand into paved areas, local small business could operate small market place pavement stalls and help kick start the economy of Cardiff .
No buses or cars , just cycle and walk ways , using ones legs will enhance our nation health , help with obesity, diabetes, and ready ourselves for the second wave of Corvid , has no one listened to scientist and Greta, FFS .
I was in Cardiff yesterday and as far as the bus service was concerned NO ONE new anything on which buses were using Greyfriars Road or not, one old lady had been waiting for a Newport bus from before 12 and at 2.20 was told the bus would not be there but would go from Custom House Street via Queen St Station, when she got there the bus drove straight past her, how she got home I haven't a clue. The guy from Cardiff Bus only had the info less than 5 minutes before that it wouldn't be going via Greyfriars.
Transport system in Cardiff is nothing but scandalous.

I posted the above in this thread yesterday. This morning they still have the road closed from the Westgate to Westgate street, despite the order saying closure from the Angel. I asked the marshal why and he said he had no idea. Are the restaurants and cafe's who are supposedly using this going to provide waiter service to the covered area? How far way will businesses be before they see this as an unusable "asset". It is totally pointless, covering the grassed areas outside the Castle would be more than enough. As had been said it is another attack on the car owner by and anti car council.
