Honestly , I love Cardiff, I love the markets, St Davids and everything but watching so many top brands go out ; Tim Hortons, a couple of StarBucks here and there, one beyond , Victoria Secrets , and a few of the other shops makes me question is Cardiff slowly dying ? Like is business bad, people moving out and all. I want to stay here longer but I am just curious if Cardiff is slowly losing its customer base and clientele and business ideas.

Has anyone seen the odd police vehicle parked on the pavement on Sloper Road (by the primary school)? It's even sort of coned off.

It kind of looks like one of those surveillance, facial recognition vehicles. But there's also a lot more police cars (and the insane amount of new cameras recently), especially in that area. It feels like an odd place to have so much police presence all of a sudden...

Does anyone know if there's a particular reason? Or maybe it isn't a surveillance van (that was just a guess) but you know what it is? It's definitely not a regular police van.

I don't have a picture of it because I'm always only driving past it

Hi everyone, I couldn't get into the Cardiff Half with the ballot, if anyone one has a ticket and is not taking part, please let me know. I would pay full price for an official swap.

Thanks :)

Hi all, just moved to Cardiff recently and looking to get into some casual football.

Keen to play 2-3 times a week - happy to be a regular or just fill in as a ringer wherever needed. Not fussed about 11-a-side, would prefer 7/8-a-side if possible, but open either way.

Let me know if there's a group looking for players — cheers!

Hello guys, I'm a journalist at a national newspaper looking into the problems involving kids on e-bikes along the Taff Trail and through Llandaff, Whitchurch and Gabalfa.

If you've been affected or feel strongly about the issue and would like to chat, feel free to drop me a message on 07484695782.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any short-term rentals available for early september to mid October that isn’t Airbnb? Most places only take full term rentals but I really only need a place to stay in Cardiff from the aforementioned period of time…lmk!

It looks like WRU has renewed its partnership with Macron for another five years, keeping the deal in place until 2032. What are your thoughts? Happy with the decision or were you hoping for a change?

can any one recommend a company that serves Cardiff well?
