'It will create a ghetto' Plans to demolish Cardiff house for path linking cul-de-sac to planned social housing approved

A house in Cardiff will be demolished to make way for a footpath linking a quiet cul-de-sac to planned social housing sparking "ghetto" fears.

Controversial plans to knock down the home to make way for a footpath that will create access to 45 planned new homes on former farmland in the northeast of the city have been given the go-ahead.

Residents and councillors claimed the footpath, linking Ty Draw Road with Clos Nant Glaswg, could increase crime and “put the safety of the Pontprennau community at risk.”
