One of the most esteemed cycling coaches in Wales, who coached Welsh star Geraint Thomas, has said the loss of Maindy Velodrome would be a "detriment" to cycling.
Alan Davis, who received the MBE for services to youth cycling in Wales, has offered his support to the Save Maindy Velodrome group which is fighting to stop Maindy Park disappearing under concrete as part of a controversial school expansion.
Cardiff Council has proposed that Maindy Park Trust, the charity under which Maindy Park is protected - and of which the council is the sole trustee - should release its land. In exchange, the council proposed that the trust should be given land at Blackweir Fields and Caedelyn Park.
