Award-winning Cardiff Riding School "changing lives"
Cardiff Riding School has been named as the British Horse Society's 2024 Approved Centre that has "made the greatest difference to their community."
The Society praised the school's "continued efforts to inspire and uplift individuals from all backgrounds and unwavering commitment to inclusivity, community engagement and personal development," calling it "instrumental in changing many lives."
Owned and operated by Cardiff Council, Cardiff Riding School is one of the last remaining local authority owned and operated riding schools in the UK.
Two more shops closed for selling illegal tobacco and vapes in Cardiff
Two more shops selling illegal tobacco and vapes have been temporarily closed on Clifton Street in Cardiff.
Vape Mini Market and Best One Vape have been shut for three months by Shared Regulatory Services (SRS) following placement of Anti-Social Behaviour Closure Orders imposed by Cardiff Magistrates' Court, both on Friday, November 22nd and Tuesday, November 26th.
The Orders close the shops with immediate effect and stop them trading for three months. If they are opened for business during this time, the business owner(s) could receive three months in prison, a fine, or both.
Public views sought on proposed new bridge over Taff
The local community and members of the public are being asked for their views on a proposed new bridge across the River Taff.
The proposed pedestrian and cycle bridge between the Marl in Grangetown and Hamadryad Park in Butetown supports the Council's wider regeneration scheme to redevelop the Channel View estate.
The proposed bridge would provide an important connection for communities on both sides of the river to schools, parks, and leisure facilities, linking with the wider walking and cycling network, including the Cardiff Bay Trail and Ely Trail.
