Business owners on a lane in Cardiff claim they are "fed up" with drug use and crime happening on their doorstep. Tudor Lane, just off Tudor Street in the Riverside area of the city, is lined with a collection of independent businesses and craft studios, but business owners say they are finding needles multiple times a week and can hear people shouting for drug dealers on a regular basis.
“It’s a really nice community of creative people up and down this lane. We’ve got a sculptor next door, an artist as a landlord, three woodworkers, ceramicists, two coffee shops,” business owner Dave Hann said. Dave has run his bike workshop business, Motor Legs, from the site for six years. “Little Man Garage and this shop over the last five years have created a lot of footfall,” he said.
Many of the businesses have been on the lane for a number of years, some for as long as two decades. The variety of businesses and workshops on the lane includes studios for ceramic artists, a sign writing business, a carpenter, Dave's bike repair shop, a coffee shop, several artists, and more. The traders who work on Tudor Lane have described it as a "lovely community." You can read more about the traders of Tudor Lane here.
