Demolition of the former tax office in Cardiff has commenced and the council said the work could take a year. Cardiff council approved plans to demolish the former HMRC office building off Ty Glas Road in Llanishen in August 2022 subject to conditions.
The Ty Glas site was acquired by the local authority in 2021 with a view to potentially using it for the construction of a new school. However in its announcement that demolition work has commenced the council said there are currently no specific plans for the site.
Cardiff council's cabinet member for investment and development, Cllr Russell Goodway, said: "We understand that a demolition of this scale and over such a period of time will be of concern to some people in the area but want to give reassurances that plans are in place to ensure the impact of this work is minimised as much as possible.
