Seconded by: Councillor Robson
The Council notes
1. The severe deterioration in the state of the city’s streets since this administration came to power;
2. The increase in fly-tipping across the city as a direct consequence of Cabinet decisions to cut spending and, amongst other things, close household waste recycling centres at Wedal Road and Waungron Road;
3. The significant amount of litter left uncollected on the roads and pavements across the city;
4. The growing number of dangerous potholes left unrepaired.
The Council calls upon the Cabinet to
1. Re-prioritise its spending commitments to address this unacceptable situation;
2. Reverse its decision to close Wedal Road HWRC or provide an alternative facility to serve the residents of Cardiff North;
3. Bring forward alternative delivery arrangements to ensure these services can be delivered more cost-effectively and efficiently as other councils have demonstrated is possible;
4. Develop, as a matter of urgency, an improved programme of street cleansing and repairs to remedy the current situation.
