It has sometimes been suggested that rather than build houses in Cardiff in Cardiff we could build more in the valleys and such development would not only help ease pressure on Cardiff and create new customers for Valleys businesses.. but it would be welcomed by communities who'd see it as a shot in the arm!
Well the above article made me laugh as it quotes a petition against 175 homes proposed for Oakdale by existing residents who don't want Oakdale to become a "metropolis". OK this is the usual hyperbole used by the instigators of such petitions.. but come on!
