Our pal Neil Cocker asked Twitter a question about Cardiff yesterday. We want to help him get some answers. So here’s the question. Please leave your answers in the comments!
What one problem solved, small change made, or grand vision for Cardiff would improve the quality of life for its inhabitants? Think big!
There you go! I’m sure you guys can all think of something. Traffic? Education? Potholes? Lost landmarks? Tarting up derelict buildings? Guided tours by volunteers? Better signs? Cycle routes? Guerilla gardening? WHAT!
Please leave your answers in the comments! Or reply directly to Neil on Twitter.

Free bus travel for all. Anyone who’s listened to pensioners on the bus will realise how happy they are with free bus passes – spreading a bit of that joy would do wonders for any city. Obviously the council/government=taxpayer would have to pick up the cost but the benefits would make it more than worthwhile. As buses would no longer be seen as running at a loss routes could also be expanded.

A tram service from near the Hayes down Lloyd George Avenue into the bay. All the way too, unlike the train station.

Improve cycle lanes throughout the centre. Dedicated cycle lanes instead of lanes which can be parked in by vehicles, for example. Nor shared with pedestrians.

Cycling lanes, less rubbish on the streets, more trees/plants.
