WAG wasting more money….

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

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.

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

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.

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....

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….
