Patients at a GP surgery are facing "real hardship" as their surgery relocates two miles away. Patients of Pentyrch Surgery have put forward a petition to Cardiff and Vale University Health Board in response to the intended closure of the surgery. Some 1,612 locals have signed the petition and fear that the pharmacy will be the next closure.
The surgery will be replaced by another site two miles away at Rhydlafar – either a five-minute drive or 37-minute walk. The new site is connected to Pentyrch by Church Road, which residents have called a “narrow and unlit country road with no pavement". The health board has defended the plans saying there had a "robust and thorough engagement process".
