Cardiff council has ordered the removal of some political posters for the Greens and Plaid Cymru ahead of May's local elections.
Plaid Cymru's Cardiff Central branch said that they had booked advertising space on the junction of Wellfield Road and Albany Road for four weeks - as they had for previous elections. On Twitter they made the claim that "councillors" pressured the company that booked the ads to remove them. However Labour-run Cardiff council refute this claim saying it was in fact the council itself, not individual councillors who asked for the removal because the 10ft advertising structure shouldn't be used for political advertising.
The posters, which advertised both Plaid and the Greens who are in alliance for this election, called on people to vote for the two parties "for the change Cardiff needs". Secretary of Plaid Cardiff Central Morgan Rogers said: “We had booked the same space a year ago for the Senedd elections and had the posters up for four weeks and thought it was a good idea and so a year ago we booked the space again."
