Cardiff Council leader Huw Thomas confirms to ITV Cymru Wales that felling of healthy trees & other clearance work in Bute Park’s Blackweir was to meet the needs of corporate music promoter & funded by them Stop “corporate vandalism in our public parks

'If you want to live in an undisrupted utopia ...' not sure anyone is asking for that - just for residents to be able to use the green spaces of the city rather than them being constantly monetised with restricted access. There are other spaces that could host events.

Jen Burke and Huw Thomas have a lot to answer for. On their watch they have abused their custodianship of Cardiff's green spaces. Hailey Park, Maindy, Blackweir. Profit of very questionable companies like Live Nation put before the people of Cardiff and our fragile ecology.

Cardiff council pretending that their critics are acting in bad faith, rather than actually engaging with the substantive criticisms? Sounds familiar
