Don’t forget it’s our rescheduled October Community Litterpick this Saturday 31 October. We’re cleaning up Clive Street and around between 10am-12pm (meeting at the junction of Penhevad Street).

Everyone is welcome! All kit supplied and refreshments at The Grange afterwards. Help us make a difference to Grangetown.

See you on Saturday morning! The weather’s looking a lot better than last Saturday 😂

This sounds like great news! More focus on reducing flytipping and improving the cleanliness of our neighbourhoods has got to be good. These are issues that affect us all - nobody wants to live in a dump.

Particularly pleased to see Cardiff Council is thinking of reintroducing community skips to reduce flytipping - we’ve been asking for this for years! Hope this gets seriously considered and is at least piloted in a few areas.

Pop-up recycling centres in communities are another good idea - we saw this happening in Cathays and Roath when the students were moving out at the end of summer term and it seemed to work. Not everyone has a car to get to a Household Waste Recycling Centre! How about introducing access to HWRCs for people on foot and on bicycles as part of these proposals too?

Also good to see plans to strengthen enforcement - higher fines are needed. But why not consider CCTV as a deterrent/ means of catching culprits? Everyone knows where the flytipping hotspots are in every community. And publicising the number of culprits getting caught and the level of fines would be another deterrent.

Lastly can we please have more emphasis on prevention? More resource on education/ information/ outreach (like the work being done by the Recycling Communications team) will pay dividends in the longer term. Changing behaviour is not something that happens overnight.

Have you heard about Grangetown Kitchen Garden? It’s a community garden, market and cafe on Avondale Road in Grangetown that’s open every Wednesday. You can pop in for a home-made lunch at the cafe and pick up food from the market (including vegetables grown in their garden) - all for £5!

It’s been described as “a little piece of heaven”. Sounds amazing and we can’t wait to visit!

PS Don’t forget it’s our October Community Litterpick this Saturday 24 October if you want to help keep Grangetown tidy 📆
