The Economy and Culture Scrutiny Committee looked at Cardiff Council's Hubs & Library Strategy on Tues. My first Q was for more detail than initially given in the report, to easily see the areas that responded to the consultation. Fast, positive, response from Cabinet Member @09bridgey.bsky.social

Earlier this year I raised an issue at full Council that residents regularly talk to me about, potholes! The then Cabinet Member Norma Mackie spoke clearly about the work done so far and the plans for the future. I'm keen to see this new machine in action soon.

We recently scrutinised the role of Cardiff's City Centre Wardens and I asked about how they react when major events come to our city like the rugby, Taylor Swift concerts and long Easter weekends.

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.

Just to quickly follow-up, it really is an impressive sight to see the water cascading around.

Sometimes Scrutiny is about digging deep on an issue, sometimes it's just about getting that simple clarity. On the Cardiff Market restoration (to be completed Sept 2027) the Budget documents list the Welsh Government, the National Lottery and Council money but no Shared Prosperity Funding.

On Tuesday the Economy and Culture Scrutiny Committee received an update on the Recommendations from our Filming Inquiry. It's promising that changes have been made but this progress needs keep going, so Cardiff is not only visually present in films & shows but fundamentally benefits from it.

FOR Cardiff conducted a survey in 2023 that found one-in-five women do not go out after it gets dark in our city. I wanted to know what we were doing to make Cardiff a safe place for women.

It's never been easier to get a train on a Sunday from Danescourt to Cardiff Central.

The decision by Microsoft to hide a substantive fee hike (42%) on the personal version of Office pass the exorbitant cost of AI word salad onto the user has been criticised by Chi Onwurah MP. As such, I am very glad that this is something that Cardiff Council is keeping a watch on.

Landry: "Greenland needs a deal. Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz, what kind of leverage that would give America. It's time for the Danes to come to the table and let's get a deal done"
