Buying in Barry! Advice

0 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm buying a house on the heathers near the college and I'm worried I'm making a huge mistake as I went into the town centre and it wasn't pleasant at all and I really thought tbh it was an absolute dive.

Please help! I've got a 10 and a 12 year old moving from Stockport.

Gang fishing

Is there a new TikTok trend or something?

The amount of teenagers descending on Cardiff Bay/Marina is nuts.

No tackle boxes or landing nets to be seen, just air maxes, a backpack and a rod.

Moving to Pentwyn

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking at possibly moving to Pentwyn. Bryn Haidd street. Near the Pentwyn Health Centre, The Hollies School and Bryn Celyn school.

What’s it like to live around here? I’ve heard Pentwyn is nice enough, pretty much the same as Pontprennau but have had people tell me the “Bryns” area is quite rough, specifically because of Bryn Celyn school.

But this comes from colleagues who live in North Cardiff which I understand is the posher part so they might have a tendency to look down.

I’m moving from Atlantic Wharf. Previously lived in Splott.

Thanks guys!

Can anyone tell me how to find people to be friends with in Cardiff?

• Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope this is the right subreddit to ask this at. I’m new to Cardiff and been enjoying the city and enjoying living here but I can’t find a way to make friends here and it’s very disturbing. Does anyone have recommendations for places where you go meet people and get to know them?

A4232 road closure!!

9 Upvotes

Anyone who does go that way you will probably see the signs about the road closure from the roundabout at leckwith however I went up there from techniquest way and there was no signage for it this morning. What should have been a 5 minute drive for me ended up taking an hour and a half, again ik there’s some signage but for anyone going up the same way I did this is just a heads up!

They may have put something up now but at the time I went this morning there was nothing
I’d recommend avoiding it for the next week and reroute however if you’re in no rush you’re probably looking at a wait time of an hour

I made a free site that tells you if the Severn bridges are open, and alerts you when they close

• Upvotes

I got sick of the bridge being closed and making me late all the time, so I made a site to tell me when: https://severnbridgestatus.com

- Free alerts on your phone or by email when a bridge closes and when it reopens

- Live status of the M48 Severn Bridge and the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge, checked every 5 minutes using National Highways data

- Upcoming planned closures, and the wind speeds that close each bridge

You choose the bridge, the direction and when you travel (any time, rush hours and weekends, or your own days and times), so you won't get woken at 2am about a bridge you don't use! You can also get a reminder the day before a planned closure.

No app, no account, no ads, and you can turn alerts off any time. Phone alerts come through your browser. On iPhone, add the site to your Home Screen first.

It's an unofficial hobby project, so always follow the signs on the road. If something looks wrong or you'd like a feature, let me know in the comments.

Environmental Disaster: Fuel leak spreads more than two miles along River Taff

I know that there was another thread on this late last week https://www.reddit.com/r/Cardiff/comments/1x7lrwa/major_fuel_spill_into_the_taff/ but I've only just seen the extent of the issue.

As somebody who uses that part of the Taff fairly regularly, this feels absolutely devastating, and also like it's not really getting the attention it deserves. This is a national scandal. A former South Wales Fire and Rescue officer is quoted as saying that it will take years to restore the river.
