I know some may argue that a national news site should have better things to write about, but I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment of those who contributed:

I sick to death of seeing buildings barely 10 years old covered in mud, dust, dirt and slim. Especially when the developers claimed that their development was key to regeneration.
The bridge in Newport is a particular good example, as it’s so prominent. It’s become an awful site as you come into Newport on the train.
Similarly, the new railway station (which I actually worked on) has slim and dirt all over its roof. In comparison to the old buildings, it now looks dated and utter shite. What was the point of spending all of that money?
There are plenty of examples around Cardiff too, especially where render has been used. Look at Altolusso, nice building form (apart from the hideous façade retention) that’s been ruined by poorly maintained render cladding. Is anyone going to clean it?
In fairness to the WRU, at least they maintain the stadium, but how many others bother?
Something needs to be done.
