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

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.

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.

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.

On Thursday I attended Full Council remotely and asked the Cabinet Member about justifying staying on X and praised the community action we've seen in Minnesota in the last month.

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.

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

The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!

Oh, honey, if this is your dancing style, a ballroom is the last thing you need.

53 years ago, a Supreme Court decision protected reproductive freedom and ensured everyone access to safe healthcare. Although Roe v. Wade has been overturned, our belief remains the same. Everyone should have the right and the autonomy to make decisions about their body. The fight will continue.

So much for the so called “New South” that was touted as a Mecca for Black people and this political powerhouse for Black progression …. The only thing that has changed is their methodology !!!
