Next steps for Maindy Park in Cardiff after controversial decision on land swap

A controversial land swap in Cardiff which could see the loss of green space and a much-loved velodrome took another step towards becoming a reality when an independent committee, called the Maindy Park Trust Advisory Committee, recommended to Cardiff Council that land at Maindy Park should be swapped for land at Caedelyn Park in Rhiwbina.

If the Maindy Park Trust Advisory Committee's recommendation is approved by Cardiff Council's cabinet – and if this decision is given consent by the Charity Commission – plans to expand Cathays High School can go ahead.
