A council has defended its city centre cycleway development after members of the public bemoaned the disruption caused by roadworks. Residents have expressed concern over the disruption caused to pedestrian walkways in Gabalfa, Cardiff, as work progresses along Allensbank Road and Whitchurch Road to complete new cycleways.
Pictures have been shared online of pavements being partly-obstructed and some residents have complained about the temporary lack of parking along Allensbank Road. Resident and local ward member, Cllr Rhys Taylor, said the construction works have been a "nightmare".
He described the difficulty of trying to get his son to nursery, when the walkways were "just wide enough to get the pram through" in places. "There was me going down Whitchurch Road and someone coming up towards me," he said.
