Roath going for independence!

Residents of Roath in Cardiff will make history this weekend when polls open for the suburb’s independence referendum.

The completely unofficial vote, which has not been recognised by the city council, Welsh Government or UK Government, will decide if residents want to see the district gain independence from the rest of Cardiff by establishing itself as a new nation.

The call for political change has been led by Sir Alfred Street, curator of The Actual History Museum of Roath.

Sir Alfred, who would not divulge his real name, said: “This political call for change was sparked last year when, as part of the Made in Roath Festival, we officially opened the Actual History Museum of Roath in Werfa Street.

“The museum is the first real account of Roath’s history.”

A Question Time style event will be held at the Roath Park pub on Friday at 8pm when residents will be asked to help form Roath’s future in light of a Yes vote.

A polling station at 14, Werfa Road, will then open for around four hours at 12pm on Saturday before a count is held on Sunday evening at 7pm.

The headline: More people are moving to Cardiff Bay and the city centre than anywhere else in Cardiff, new figures reveal

The claim: More people are flocking to live in Cardiff Bay and the city centre than anywhere else in the capital, new data has revealed.

The facts: The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show how 11,135 people were living in the Butetown ward, which covers the city centre and Cardiff Bay, in the middle of last year. This is an extra 632 people compared to the same period in 2012 which is a rise of 6%.

Not exactly 'flocking' is it?!

and maybe any major moves to that area are because of the stupid amounts of flats and price!

e2a prob a bit of an advertorial from an estate agent
 
632 people!!! stop the presses. they don't tell you how many flats are still left unoccupied down here though, do they? There was a new development of flats just round the corner from me that was completed a couple of months ago, still only two out of about 20 of them are occupied from the looks of it.

WHEN WILL THEY STOP BUILDING FLATS IN THE BAY!!! There was a planning application put in to build SEVENTY new flats on the site of the Hamadryad Hospital, just down the road from that other development. Load of residents formed a group and objected, but I've heard Labour have some sort of link to the company who put in the planning app. Fingers crossed it gets rejected...
