NHS Wales is on brink of wasting up to £800m on a cancer centre in the wrong place and with little extra patient treatment capacity.
200 cancer specialists said it was wrong.

Deeply worrying …suspect same would be found in Wales where Cardiff Council has continued to dispose of open public space - was the equivalent of 450 full size tennis courts 18 months back
Once gone, it is never replaced :(

Gr8 to see & hear Maindy velodrome being mentioned so much today as G brings down the curtain on a truly memorable cycling career
Time now for the Labour politicians in Cardiff to agree it should now come under the stewardship of independent trustees … 1/2
🚨 URGENT CALL TO ACTION
#Famine must be stopped at all costs. Ending it is a race against time. An immediate ceasefire and end to the conflict is critical to save lives and end catastrophic suffering in #Gaza.
📣 Immediate and sustained cessation of hostilities
📣Guarantee unconditional and safe humanitarian access
📣Immediate, largescale, unobstructed multisector humanitarian assistance
📣 Protect civilians and critical infrastructure
📣 Restore commercial flows, market systems, essential services, and local food production
@TheIPCinfo #EndFamine
Famine is confirmed by @theIPCinfo in #Gaza City and the surrounding areas.
They project that famine will spread further south by the end of September.
This is man-made.
For almost 6 months the Israeli Authorities have critically restricted food and other essential goods—including water, medicine, shelter and fuel.

#CeasefireNow
There was no competitive tendering process - Live Nation & its affiliates and partners is the Council’s partner of choice so there is no commercial sensitivity that affects negotiations

Our thanks to @RhysOwenThomas this morning in meeting 🏴🏠🔥building safety victims, now involved in a Remediation Crisis. A @SeneddWales MS who consistently shows up when others @WelshLabour are never seen or heard from. So much for representing the people. @Plaid_Cymru
Controversy continues to surround Wales’ most expensive hospital project, with neighbouring residents complaining that noisy 'out-of-hours' building work is damaging their physical and mental health ✍️@ShiptonMartin

Looking very likely Cardiff Council failed to conduct legal due diligence before giving go ahead to Council Leader’s pet project, Blackweir Live, that could be in breach of planning law/regs
Instead trees felled, habitats uprooted and normal use of Bute Park disrupted ..1/2
“[Cardiff Council Leader] Thomas said the [tourism tax] levy would allow the city to "recoup some of the costs" of holding events like the recent Oasis shows.”
Why? Has he been failing to recoup enough from gig organisers? Have residents been subsidising his pet project?
1/2
Guys dismantling Blackweir Live
BUT the 28 days for temporary change of use ended yesterday and so Blackweir should have been available and accessible for normal use today
Council entered into a contract it knew would be in breach of 28 days limit
Why? Do different rules apply?
Sound travels ..and wind can assist it
Quite staggering that these important scientific facts don’t appear to have been taken into account when they set the sound levels for Blackweir Live
No way should I be hearing lyrics in my house approx 2 miles away whatever the weather
Welsh gov had perfect opp when deciding location of new Velindre. Had they collocated on UHW benefiting patients, @CardiffSave could’ve been managed & improve biodiversity & made accessible.
@MarkDrakeford @vaughangething concreted it https://t.co/ZDr8fY7ON8
2-tier regs?
Council knew months ago Live Nation needed more than the 28 days of permitted temporary change of use for Blackweir Live in Bute Park yet only now they say they looking at whether it needed specific permission for this change to run for the best of the summer …1/2
Totally disingenuous of Cardiff Council to claim most of Bute Park is accessible during its 3 month gig & event season
These were taken on my way thru on a non-event day
Absolutely clear that Bute Park neither presents a welcome vista to visitors or is widely accessible 1/2
