Cardiff Council has an ambition to move to a 50:50 modal split between cars and public transport, walking or cycling. The Corporate Plan states our vision for Cardiff is to become “Europe’s most liveable capital city”.
Many cities in the UK and around the world have traffic free days where the city centre streets are closed to vehicles allowing local residents to enjoy the city centre in a pollution free, peaceful and family friendly way. This Council therefore agrees that Cardiff should have a traffic free day in 2016 with the major city centre streets closed to traffic and that a traffic free day should then be held every subsequent year.’
