The Howard Gardens bowling green is under threat of being sold<\/p><\/div>\n

Cardiff Council<\/a> have overlooked how building new student accommodation will affect the quality of life of residents in Adamsdown, according to local councillor. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Howard Gardens bowling green is set to be sold to Eclipse<\/a> for a new block of student flats despite the disruption of two other developments in the area. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ward councillor Owen Jones, said: \u201cAdamsdown has the least amount of green spaces in the city out of any ward and the council are selling it off for more building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose people who live around there have been living next to a building site for the last four years,\u201d he continued, \u201cand now there\u2019s potential that this can continue, so they\u2019re getting battered.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Andrea Hunt, a local resident, said: \u201cThe environment impacts our health and well being and what makes me mad is that this is on the agenda. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Future Generations Act<\/a> is a policy they need to develop and the health impact assessments that they\u2019re doing on local areas should have been conducted by the Council before they considered this development. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people going to GP surgeries with things that may not necessarily be medically diagnosed as a condition are often related to emotional and mental well being, and so I just think for me as a resident and somebody who works in health care<\/a> that we really need more green spaces in Cardiff, not just because it looks nice.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Owen went on to say that Adamsdown has about \u00a3800,000 to \u00a31,000,000 worth of Section 106<\/a> money that can only be used on green spaces, this could be spent to turn Howard Gardens into an absolutely amazing park. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an unused piece of land that\u2019s set to be one of the most lucrative land sales in Welsh council history,\u201d Owen concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
